介绍:
1. A 10-year-old boy decided to study Kung fu despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident. The boy began lessons with an old 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.
2. “Shi fu,” 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 histeacher, the boy kept training.
3. Several months later, the master 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.
4. Still amazed by his success, theboy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Soon his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.
5. On the way home, the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. “Shi fu, 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 moves in all of kung fu. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.” The boy’s biggest weakness had become hisbiggest strength.
一个10岁的男孩决定学习功夫，尽管他在一场毁灭性的车祸中失去了左臂。这个男孩开始跟随一位老师父学习。这个男孩做得很好，所以他不明白为什么经过三个月的训练，师父只教了他一招。
“师父，”男孩终于问出，“我不是应该学更多的招式吗？”“这是你唯一知道的招式，但这也是你唯一需要知道的招式，”师父回答说。男孩不大理解，但相信他的老师，继续训练。
几个月后，师父带男孩参加了他的第一次比赛。出乎意料的是，男孩轻松地赢得了前两场比赛。第三场比赛更加困难，但过了一段时间，他的对手变得不耐烦并发动进攻；男孩巧妙地使用了他的一招，赢得了比赛。
男孩仍然对自己的成功感到惊讶，现在他进入了决赛。这一次，他的对手更大、更强、更有经验。有一段时间，这个男孩似乎是招架不住了。不久，他的对手犯了一个关键性的错误：他放松了警惕。瞬间，男孩用他的招式将其死死按住。这个男孩赢得了这场比赛，成为了锦标赛的冠军。
在回家的路上，男孩鼓起勇气问出了他心中的真实想法。“师父，我怎么会只用一招就赢得了比赛？”“你赢了有两个原因，”大师回答。“首先，你几乎掌握了所有功夫中最难的招式之一。第二，这一招唯一已知的破解方法是让你的对手抓住你的左臂。”这个男孩最大的弱点已经成为他最大的优势。
