How To Be Happy Alone

Here is your Tuesday STORY on: SELF DEVELOPMENT: Sometimes... risks can be taken inch by inch. There are too many sayings that encourage us to take risks and establish that without taking risks we never improve. Of course whilst this philosophy is true, it can be easily misinterpreted! Proof of this will be surely within your own life. These risks can be categorised as thus: An irresponsible risk A Calculated risk We would assume that an irresponsible risk would fail and a calculated risk would be successful. If this was true, which type of risk are you going to use next time? A calculated risk is a plan split into several or even hundreds of movements. Then should failure loom after ten movements the plan can be shelved. However it seems that a greater chance of success will come from meticulous planning. In fact as the start of today's daily wisdom said, 'Inch by inch!' Today's story illustrates that in taking a calculated risk a weakness can become a strength. WEAKNESS OR STRENGTH? A happy 10-year-old boy was involved in an accident, sadly his arm was severely damaged and sadly had to be amputated. That is where the bad news finishes. This young boy still was the same young boy, but he had lost his left arm. His happy disposition was that he still wanted to be involved with everything. So after his request, his parents enrolled him into a 'judo' class. What an enormous task confronted him, with only one arm he was attempting to compete amongst his friends at the same level. The young boy approached the teacher and said he wanted to learn as much as possible about this sport. The judo teacher was apprehensive, but studied carefully the disability and came up with a solution. The judo teacher instructed the young boy to learn one important move. After a few weeks the boy was confused, he asked, 'Why do I only learn one move?' the judo teacher said, 'This is the only move you need to know!' (Inch by inch the boy would practice this move, until his skill was masterful). A few months later the judo school entered the annual national competition. To everyone's surprise the young boy with only one arm progressed through all the stages to the final. His opponent was a boy both larger and physically stronger. The odds were against the young boy with one arm. He tussled bravely and the audience were in fear for the young boy's safety. As the final progressed, it was clear that the young boy was trying to make the same move to win the tournament. But he fought bravely and frustrated the opponent. Suddenly his larger opponent became so disorientated he lost concentration. The young boy tried his move once more and successfully won the tournament for his judo school. The young boy amongst many others was confused but delighted about his win. He approached his judo teacher after the win and asked why he had been so successful. His teacher replied, 'There is only one defence to the move I taught you, if and when you secure the correct grip in your attack, the only defence is to grasp your left arm...' (Unknown Author). QUOTE: "When you take risks there is a possibility of failing, and yet by taking no risks, failure is certain.' (Eva, Author and Philosopher). 'And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.' (Erica Jong).
