Nice. Very cool story. It reminds me of an ancient Chines proverb. “He who overcomes others is strong. He who overcomes himself is mighty.” Turning our weaknesses into strengths makes us mighty.

@ Mikes, thank you for taking the time to comment for this post and sorry for giving you the trouble. I believe we all need to really re-look into our weaknesses and maybe we can find strength in them.

@ Mikko, I truly admired the strength and perseverance you displayed back then. Could you have actually run the risk of like permanently injuring your knee? Through your sharing, it truly shown how important physical and mental strength are to conquering obstacles in life. Thank you for sharing your experience.

@ Liferamblings, thank you for sharing your experience. I was once afraid of speaking in front of a group of people too. But that time I just conquered my fear with doing it. At first I was very nervous but as I go along, it just got better. At time I could even feel that I was connected to the audience. In fact after a while it got fun actually to be able to speak in front of a group of people. I believe too that everything is possible with strong willpower.

@ VanillaSeven, have a great weekend too.

Wow, that was a great story.

I once dreamed of playing basketball in the college level in US. But I messed up my ACL on my left knee.

I did not let that stop me and I rehabilitated my knee and worked twice as hard on my game.

But after eight months and after starting to play basketball again I tore the same ACL on my left knee once again.

Doctors told me that I would probably never play sports again.

I quit for couple of months, but decided to try one more time, and I became the first ever basketball player from North Part of Finland to play in the Division 1 college level here in US.

Although the injuries felt devastating to me at the time, I am still grateful for the emotional, mental, and physical lessons that I learned from them.

And now I am also professionally competing in salsa dancing :).
