During the last tournament I think I did the worst I ever did in a kendo tournament. I felt like it was the worst kendo, everyone told me it wasn't so great or they tried to comfort me a little, but I knew it was bad and so did they.
I was pretty down about it.
Then something unexpected happened. My sensei, Miyata-sensei told me, "You lost but you did good kendo."
This man does not compliment without it being deserved, he does not say nice things he is honest. He's a hachi dan he has no reason to say nice things to anyone.
that one comment alone meant more to me than winning any match would ever mean.
If you can understand my story, you will understand it applies to more than just kendo.
