Conquer Your Weakness
This is a story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident.
The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one move. “Sensei,” the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”
“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the Sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.
Several months later, the Sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

The First Step
The First Step
Your first step is all that it takes to reach success.
It shows your faith in your dreams.
It shows you belief in yourself.
It shows you have courage to move ahead.
The Man Who Dares
The Man Who Dares
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled
or where the doer of deeps could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena;
whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood;
who errs and comes short again and again…
who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions,
and spends himself in a worthy cause;
who at the least knows in the end the triumph of high achievement;
and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring gently,
so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls
who know neither victory nor defeat.

Courage To Succeed
Courage To Succeed
To dream anything that you want to dream, That’s the beauty of the human mind.
To do anything that you want to do, That is the strength of the human will.
To trust yourself to test your limits, That is the courage to succeed

When Life Outpaces You
When Life Outpaces You
When life’s largest pressured leave you struck dumb,
Just search for an answer; The solution will come.
When a tragedy occurs leaving you feeling numb,
Just wait for your health; The strength will come.
When everyone relies on you and there is no way you can see,
Trust your mind to think with time; Patience is the key.
When you have made it where others always flee,
Just wait to gather courage; Soon you’ll be where you want to be.
When it is nearing the end and you’re in need,
Muster up your courage; Endurance will lead.
