In sports , there are no of stories to inspire ... But ...Karoly Takacs is unbelievable !! He was a Sergent in the Hungarian Army in 1938 and country's top pistol shooter at the age of 28 - favorite to win Gold in 1940 Olympics . Unfortunately .. In a disaster - a hand grenade explosion happened in his Right - Shooting Hand , also lost a limb .And then ...Inspiring journey started ....
Instead of focusing on what he had lost , he chose to focus on what he still had . In person's life ...Most Imp is Mental Strength and Mindset of a Winner . His mission was to train and transform a left hand into World's Best Shooting Hand !! Karoly spent 2 months in hospital and then went to unknown place , began practice to shoot with left hand . Karoly stayed FOCUSED .
One year later - Karoly resurfaced at the national shooting championship in Hungary and He Won !! What Karoly did in this testing year ... he avoided two categories of people , first - those keep ridiculing you from dreaming big !! and second those only give sympathy !!Karoly was about to head for next Olympics and again big Obstacle came .This time , second world war . This canceled 2 Olympics game . It was very tough to sustain motivation for 8 long years . In 1948 - London Olympics - Result - Gold goes to Karoly Takacs ,with his left hand !! Entire world saluted and offered a warm send off ... But something different was going in Karoly's mind . Not happy with one Gold . 1952 ...Helsinki Olympics . Who won Gold ? No Surprise ... Karoly Takacs .
When such incidences happen in our lives , we should think of Karoly and think like Karoly . A Goal will only help us to channelize the mind and body . This story is not about hand , it is about the mind !! Winning is attitude , not skills .Skills can be acquired , Karoly demonstrated . Important is Mindset ...... Winner's Mindset !!
