A Personal Story of Respect
I strive to teach my son the value of respecting his elders. Recently, during his martial arts lesson, I shared a story with him and his Sensei. I said, “Sensei, at the last belt advancement with my son, I was truly impressed by an elderly man there. He must have been in his seventies.”The Sensei smiled and confirmed, “Yes. He’s about 73.”
I continued, “When it was time for his sparring, his Sensei sparred with him. Although the older man needed a moment to react, it was touching to see his determination. He might not have been as sharp or quick, but his effort moved me. It was more about respecting the human spirit than outperforming him.”
The Sensei beamed and replied, “That’s absolutely correct. You’ve got it right on all fronts.”
Through this two-paragraph story, I aimed to teach my son the importance of respecting elders, much like the Sensei respected his.
