THE LITTLE BOY WITH A LOST ARM,,,

THE LITTLE BOY WITH A LOST ARM,,, by _ShAnE_StArK_ 2016/01/06 16:39
This story I'm sharing with you is a story about a
small boy, who is about 13 years of age. This
small boy decided to learn karate despite the
fact that he had lost one of his arms, (precisely,
his left arm) in a terrible car accident...
The little boy began taking lessons from his
expert karate master. Right from the initial stage
the boy was doing well, and so he couldn't
understand why, after a period of six months of
training the master had taught him (and is still
teaching him) only one move. This doesn't seem
like a progress to the boy and so one day, he
told his master, "Master,Shouldn't I be learning
more moves instead of just only one move?" The
answer his master gave was: "This is the only
move you know, but it is the only move you'll
ever ever need to know," . Not quite
understanding why, but believing in his teacher,
the boy kept on with the training. Several months
later, the Master took the boy to his first
tournament. Not long after the match began, the
boy easily won his first two matches. The third
match proved to be a little more difficult, but
after some time, his opponent became impatient
and charged; and once again, the boy used his
one move to win the match. Still wondering and
amazed by his success, the boy was now in the
final rounds. This time around, his opponent was
far bigger, stronger, and even more experienced.
For a while, the boy appeared to be over
matched. Feeling concerned that the boy might
get hurt, the referee declared a time-out. He was
about to stop the match when the little boy's
master intervened. "No," the master Master
insisted, "Just Let him continue." and soon after
the match resumed, his opponent made a very
critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly,
the boy used his one move to pin him. And
hence boy won the match and the tournament.
He was the champion!
On their way back home, the boy and Master
reviewed every move in each of the
matches.Then the boy summoned the courage to
ask what had really been bothering his mind.
â€œMaster," he called "I still can't understand how I
won the tournament with just only one
move?â€His master smiled and said "You won the
tournament for two reasons, first, you've almost
mastered one of the most difficult throws in all
of karate. And second, the only known defense
for that one move is for your opponent to grasp
your left arm.â€ The little boy was amazed. His
biggest weakness (his lost arm) had become his
biggest strength.
Moral of the story: With the right Attitude and
faith in God and also believing in yourself, you
can make your biggest weakness into your
biggest strength!!
