In Japan, there was a kid whose name was "Okayo". He wanted to become a "Sensei". It's a Japanese word that means "Martial-arts teacher". One day he told his parents about this. His parents were very supportive, So they agreed. The next day Okayo and his parents were going to a martial arts school for Okayo's admission. When they were in the mid-way their car got crashed with something and accident happened. Unfortunately, Okayo lost his left hand in that accident. And his parents also got some serious injuries. Okayo and his parents got upset after this incident. But after a couple of months, Okayo's wound almost got recovered, and his stubborn mind forced him to join the martial arts school. So he tried to convince his parents again. They asked him "how can you do that?" He replied "I don't know but I will do that". His parents took him to Japan's best Sensei.Sensei asked him the same question that "how can you fight and beat others with only one hand? He replied same again. Sensei agreed and started  giving him the training of martial art. Sensei taught him a kick and told him to practice it daily. But after few days he saw Sensai teaching different techniques and moves to other students but he only taught him this kick, he went to Sensai and told him to train him with some other moves. But Sensei said "do what I told you to do or leave this school", So he continued that kick training. After some months he got bored and asked Sensei again to teach him some other moves as he was teaching other students. But Sensei says the same thing as before. He got upset and continued that same kick training. And during his whole training of eight years, he asked this same thing again and again to Sensei but Sensei replied the same every time.It was a tradition in that school that after the training, students had to compete with each other and the winner got the degree of Sensei. When the day of battle came, Okayo got nervous. He was thinking that the other students are well trained and know many moves, but he had practiced only one kick move all the time. So how could he beat them? And his turn of battle came, so Okayo and his opponent took positions. On the referee's sign, his opponent runs towards him and Okayo nervously tries to kick him and knocked him out in one kick. Everyone got shocked! And Okayo defeated his opponents in three battles continuously. And in the final battle, his opponent was the most powerful student in the school. He said "Okayo I will kill you in on kick".Okayo got scared. In the final battle, the opponent boy attacked Okayo and made him bleed. The referee said that we need to end this battle here but Sensei said "No, till we get one winner let this battle go on". On the sign of the referee, the opponent boy tried to punch Okayo but Okayo dodges that punch and tried to kick him with full power and knocked him out in one kick and won the battle. Sensei gave him the degree of Sensei. Okayo's parents were very happy and felt proud. After the battle, he asked Sensei that how he won with only one move. Sensei told him "the kick you were trained for eight years is the hardest in the martial arts.And there is only one tackle for that kick which is that your opponent needs to hold and throw you by your left hand. And it's your destiny or God's gift that you don't have a left hand, so there is no escape from your kick. I knew from your first day of school that if you master this kick then no one can beat you".

From Okayo's story, we learn that we should not lose hope and never let your drawbacks make you upset. And make your lapses your strength. If you got to learn anything from this article then please like it and follow me for more blogs like this.
