Converting Weakness into Strengths...

Dear Friends,

There was a boy born with a handicap having no left hand working naturally…however despite this he wished to be  a Judo Player so he approached the Master for the same….the master taught him only one act several times so much so that he mastered it beyond limits, still having seen that the master was teaching him only one act he questioned the master why is he teaching him only one act why not the other one’s….the master kept mum and did not disclose the reason for the same.

During one of the competitions he knocked out many competitors however there was one competitor who was strongly attacking and winning the competition so the Referee was afraid to see the handicapped one fighting with the tough one looking at the possibilities of any damage due to his handicap…however the master denied and asked him to continue with the competition…when the competition began everybody was afraid of any damage to the handicapped however to everybody’s surprise the handicap fellow knocked out the tough one quite surprisingly and everybody was all praise for the skills and daring of the handicap player.

After the competition when he asked the Master why is it that he taught him only one act the master said ,he had taught him the toughest act in Judo in which he got ultimate mastery the only attack to this act for the opponent was to catch his left hand…. which was not there with the handicapped fellow ….the master had converted his weakness into his strength….winning in life is all about that ,everybody has some or the other weakness however victory lies in converting them into strength….for example when ego adds to relatiosnhip  it makes ait a spoil sport whereas when id adds to results it elevates one..success is about results that set…    

Wish you a great day ahead.
Thank you.
