This is a story of the man named Karoly Takacs who was the part of Hungarian army in 1938. He was the best pistol shooter of that country. He won all the national championship held in that country. Everyone was almost confirmed that Karoly will win the gold medal in the Olympic games of 1940. He was doing practice from many years. He had only one goal that to make his hand the best shooting hand of the world and he was able to do that. In 1938 during the army training camp an accident happened to him. A hand grenade got blown away in his hand and he lost his hand from which he used to do shooting.He had two ways one was to hide somewhere or cry for his rest of life and other one was to focus on his goal by not focusing on the thing that he had lost but to focus on the thing that he had. And he started to focus on his left hand. After one month of the surgery when he came back he started training with his left hand and started to make his hand the best hand in the world. After training for year he came back in 1939. A national champions was held in that year. After seeing Karoly everyone congratulated him that he came there to motivate other shooters. Nobody knows that he was doing training with his left hand from last one year and he was not there to motivate them but to compete against them. Everyone was very shocked after hearing to this. And the competition begins. Everyone was competing with their best hand but Karoly was competing with his only hand. And the winner of that competition was the man with the only hand Karoly. But he didn't stopped here. He started focusing for the Olympic championship of 1940. But the Olympic games of 1940 got cancelled due to the second world war. After that he started focusing for the Olympic games of 1944 but the Olympic games of 1944 also got cancelled due to second world war. And then he focused for the Olympic games of 1948. In 1938 his age was 28 years and in 1948 his age was 38 years and it was very difficult for him to compete with the young players. But he doesn't had the word difficult in his dictionary. In 1948 Olympics best player from the world were competing with their best hand but Karoly was competing with his only hand. And the winner of the gold medal was the man with the only hand Karoly. But he didn't stooped there. In 1952 he again went for competing and he again won the gold medal. Before that nobody was able to one back to back gold medal in that event.
Winners focus on winning while losers focus on winners.
