[00:04.30]Weakness or Strength 弱点还是强项
[00:08.10]Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength.
[00:13.16] Take, for example, the story of one 10-year-old boy
[00:17.76] who decided 1 to study judo 2 despite the fact
[00:21.24]that he had lost his left arm in a devastating 3 car accident.
[00:25.42]The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master.
[00:30.07] The boy was doing well,
[00:31.94]so he couldn’t understand why,
[00:34.17]after three months of training,
[00:36.24] the master had taught him only one move.
[00:39.02]“Sensei,” the boy finally said,
[00:41.59]“shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”
[00:44.00]“This is the only move you know,
[00:46.19] but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,”
[00:49.10] the sensei replied.
[00:50.57]Not quite understanding,
[00:52.66]but believing in his teacher,
[00:54.51]the boy kept training.
[00:56.34]Several months later,
[00:58.00]the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.
[01:01.22]Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches.
[01:06.14]The third match proved to be more difficult,
[01:09.54] but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged;
[01:14.46]the boy deftly 4 used his one move to win the match.
[01:18.16] Still amazed by his success,
[01:20.50]the boy was now in the finals.
[01:22.67]This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced.
[01:28.06] For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched.
[01:31.66]Concerned that the boy might get hurt,
[01:34.40]the referee 5 called a timeout.
[01:36.59] He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.
[01:41.00]“No,” the sensei insisted, “let him continue.”
[01:44.64]Soon after the match resumed,
[01:47.54] his opponent made a big mistake: he dropped his guard.
[01:51.47]Instantly, the boy had won the match and the tournament.
[01:55.63] He was the champion.
[01:57.16]On the way home,
[01:58.78] the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match.
[02:03.62] Then the boy gathered the courage to ask what was really on his mind.
[02:07.95]“Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?”
[02:12.58]“You won for two reasons,”
[02:14.77]the sensei answered.
[02:16.30]“First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo.
[02:21.66] Second, the only known defense 6 for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”
[02:28.02]The boy’s biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.
[00:08.10]Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength.
