  Your weakness can be your biggest strength...! A 10-year-old boy 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,” (Teacher in Japanese) 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.

It’s about all teenagers like you. “He felt relieved. Now that we have discovered that you do not have enough motivation to get up and hit the books, let's proceed to understand why?

  " Magic of appreciation" My daughter, she is much passionate about art and craft and sketching and making cakes and dancing ......ahhaaa! I love watching her spending time with her passion and would like to adore her for this. Recently she learnt her new dance "Naino wale ne”. I always enjoy to see her rocking on the floor and used to keep appreciating and smiling when she dances which somehow proved to be great MOTIVATION for her. How I came to know that my response was confidence booster for her. Tell you ?? Wait ...I will share an incident. Few days later she was practicing her another dance "Barso re".

I hardly know dance steps better than her. But I just be with her through her practice ...keep observing ...adoring and appreciating her when she did good. And yes...she compl
