Wanted to share this exciting story i read in THE HINDU Young world paper 10 years back .
An one armed street sweeper in China spends his day time sweeping the streets of china. In the night he works at a monastery where students are taught Karate.The boy secretly watches the moves and practices everyday idolising the students.
One day the Chief monk watches the little boy practice. The boy is removed from the monastery for secretly practising Karate .But he pleads the master and begs to be taught Karate.The monk accepts the boy with a condition that he will do whatever he is asked and not ask any questions .The master teaches him only one kick , a high rise kick to the opponents face and is asked to practice the same . Years pass by but he is always asked to practice the same move over and over . The boy always asks this question " Why this same old Kick and how many times should i practise it ? ". But since the master told him to do so he never questioned back . Then comes a tournament which is held in the town to select the best fighters of all. All students at the monastery are excited and line up for the tournament . The next day the boy sees that his name has been suggested by the Chief monk himself .
Bewildered the boy steps upto the monk and for the first time questions his entry because he thinks he will never return alive.The monk maintains silence and commands him to participate .
Amazingly at the tournament all his opponents fall for the single kick hes mastered. He reaches the final and knocks-out the strongest oppoent and the master of last year . The boy runs to his school and now the monk explains the secret to him .The monk tell him that the only way to defend that kick is to grab the enemies arm which the boy doesn't have .
Moral:Sometimes in life the biggest loss can be your biggest power . Persistence and hard work can really make a difference .
Unleash the power in you
The DARK SOUTH GUY
