Doubts of Soldiers

Once, during a war in Japan, a small army was preparing to fight a much larger enemy. Even though they were outnumbered, the general of the small army believed they could win. Confident in victory, he told his lieutenant to get the soldiers ready for battle.

The lieutenant gathered the troops and shared the general’s plan. The soldiers were brave, but deep down, they were worried. They knew the enemy had more men, and doubts began to grow in their minds.

The next morning, as they marched toward the battlefield, the general stopped at a small shrine. Everyone prayed for strength and victory.

After the prayers, the general stood before his men and took out a coin. “Let’s ask fate,” he said. “If this coin shows heads, we’ll win. If it shows tails, we’ll lose.”

He flipped the coin into the air. All eyes followed it as it landed on the ground—heads.

The soldiers cheered. Their fears disappeared, and they marched forward with new confidence. On the battlefield, they fought with great courage and won the battle.

Later, the lieutenant said, “We did it! No one can change fate.”

“You’re right,” the general smiled, showing him the coin. It had heads on both sides.

Moral:
When you doubt yourself, you limit your potential. But with belief, confidence, and encouragement, you can achieve more than you imagine.

Later, the doctors told his mother that even though he lived, he would never walk again. His legs were too damaged. But the boy didn’t accept that. He was determined. Even though he couldn’t move his legs and had no feeling in them, he kept believing that one day, he would walk again. His mother helped him every day by massaging his legs. At first, there was no change. But the boy didn’t stop trying. One sunny day, his ...
