Sometimes your biggest weakness can become your biggest strength. Here is the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo (柔道)1 the fact that he had lost his left arm in a car accident.
The boy began2 with an old Japanese judo the sensei (师傅). The boy was3 well, but he couldn’t understand4, after three months of training the sensei had taught him only one move.
“but this is the only move you’11 ever5 to know,” the sensei told him.
Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy6 training.
Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament (循环赛).7 himself, the boy easily won his8 two matches. The third match proved to be more9, but after some time, the boy10 used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the11.
This time, his competition was bigger, stronger, and more12. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the judge called a time-out. He was about to13 the match when the sensei intervened (阻止).
“No,” the sensei14, “Let him continue.” Soon after the match started again, his competitor made a15 mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his16 to attack him. The boy had won the match and the tournament.
On the way home, the boy summoned(鼓起) the17 to ask the sensei how he could win the tournament with only one move.
“You won18 two reasons,” the sensei answered. “First, you’ve almost learned one of the most difficult19 in all of judo. And second, the only known defense for that move is for your competitor to grab your20 arm.”

Dear Expert: I was asked to retrieve my 14-year-old daughter from a five-day camping trip.She was suffering from such severe separation anxiety,her teacher thought she should go home.She hadn’t eaten anything and had refused to participate in any activities.The thing is my daughter is extremely bright and has many friends;she organized a few friends into a band,and it belongs to several school clubs.She’s just always had an extreme fear of being away from home.I don’t want her to miss out on other trips. Yours truly, Jonathan |
Dear Jonathan: Sometimes kids can push through homesickness,but in other instances they become hurt mentally and develop greater anxiety around outings,which can worsen and prolong(延长) the problem.Separation anxiety can be the result of many complex interactions some genetic(遗传的) and some learned. People with high anxiety tend to be fearful and worried, ever when the sense of threat is minimum( 最低程度).Lots of talented,creative and successful people are exceedingly anxious. I believe your daughter is bright,active and popular,but simply can’t do well outside her home base.My suggestion is to take things in small steps,so your daughter can experience success,and always have a fallback(退却) plan if she needs it.For instance,she can plan an overnight with a friend,but assure her it’s no big deal to pick her up at midnight if she changes her mind. What’s important is to recognize the fear,and make plans to deal with whatever may cause distress.In other words,don’t try to talk your daughter out of her fears,equip her to master them.This way she’ll eventually gain the confidence to go on further trips.
