THE BOY WHO GAVE UP ON HIS DREAM
Once upon a time, there was a boy named João. He was a judoka and lived in the city of Guarujá, Brazil. Every day, he trained hard, hoping to become a world judo champion one day.
One day, his teacher said:
“Good morning, students! Today, I have an announcement. Some of you already know this, but others don’t. The judo championship will take place tomorrow. Everyone can participate. You just need to come here in the morning and bring $70.”
João ran home to tell his parents. After they gave him permission to participate, he went to bed excited and full of hope.
The next morning, the teacher waited for everyone before going to the championship venue. All the students were there, including João.
João’s first match was against someone more experienced than him. However, João was strong and didn’t give up until the very last moment. Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough, and he lost the match.
He arrived home feeling sad and said, “I WILL NEVER TRAIN JUDO AGAIN!”
Time passed, and João grew up and became a successful lawyer.
One day, as he was leaving work, he saw a boy wearing a judo uniform with a group of other students. João remembered his childhood and realized everything he had lost by giving up on his dream.
Moral: Never give up on your dreams just because you fail once.
