WEAKNESS TURNED INTO STRENGTH
This is a story of a boy who decided to practice 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. ""Master"," 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 "Master" replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his Master, the boy continued.
Several months later, the "Master" took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising 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. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overpowered. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.
On the way home, the boy and "Master" reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. "Master", how did I win the tournament with only one move?"
"You won for two reasons," the "Master" answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult move in judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm."
Moral: We should not let our weakness take control of our life. We should belive in ourself and continue to work harder towards our goal and with hard work we can turn our weakness into our strength.

We never pay attention to breathing, which is essential and crucial part of our life. It's just something our body does automatically. Proper breathing helps us to live longer as well as make us positive, happy, productive and energetic. Deep breathing should be a part of your everyday life. Proper breathing should be deep, slow, rhythmic and done through the nose, not through the mouth.
