Story of the week: Turn Your Weakness into Strength

Posted by Green Patents

Remember the story of the 10-year-old boy who decided to learn judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm?

Even after many months of training, he had only been taught one move. However, the boy kept his faith and soon he entered his first tournament.

To his surprise, he won every match with his one move and won the tournament.

On the way home, the boy summoned the courage to ask his master, ‘How did I win the tournament with only one move?’

‘You won for two reasons: first, you’ve mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.’

This week, let’s remember that acceptance and action can convert our weaknesses into strengths.
