In many cases the one who has everything and more possibilities in life does not take advantage of them and those who do not have struggle with the soul to have a single opportunity to achieve their dreams. Saul, a son of millionaire parents who studied in the best schools, branded clothes, had it all, his parents enrolled him in swimming but he didn't like it, tennis and he got upset, basketball said that it wasn't for him, in short he didn't like any sport and his parents looking for the possible way but nothing the only sport he liked was video games, his parents set up a business for him when he was older but because of laxity the business went bankrupt, he never wanted to do anything and only ended up on the couch of his house playing video games and watching TV, being a burden to his parents who died with the sadness of never seeing their son do anything by himself, and scolding himself for always giving him everything without pushing him to fight for anything.

On the other hand Maria, a girl who from the age of 4 years old had the qualities of an athlete but her parents did not have the resources because in all kinds of sports she had to buy the equipment and accessories that were very expensive, she was 5 years old when after so much research she was registered in the house of culture of the neighborhood, there they were giving karate and it was free, she was advancing quickly and at 6 years old she was one of the best and at 6 years old she was growing up and always had to borrow for the tape and the uniform was sometimes given away, karate had become her passion, competition that always won something, she was invited by other schools to go to competitions but because she couldn't have money she could not, she had an infinite number of trips abroad but since this sport was not sponsored in her country every athlete had to bear the expenses that this entailed, passage, stay, food just to name the basics and could never go out and show how good it was.

At the age of 12 he excelled as always and at the suggestion of Sensei and his help he was able to practice with the federation of his state where he did not disappoint but climbed, it was a sensation he went to states, She was already known for her great kicks but there was the detail that karate was a sport not very helped by the government in her country and could not travel because it was the same story, she had to get half the money from the trip and so Maria fought and fought and through the beloved sport got a scholarship and a place in the best public university in her country, She had a child and since she was a child she supported him so that it would not be the same as she couldn't do with karate but if as a teacher she never stopped fighting now she has the same possibilities that Saul had but for her son so that he can go further, she never stopped supporting him but taught him to be a fighter and little Mario followed his mother's example and became a great athlete.

In many of these cases almost no one is satisfied as I said at the beginning, the one who has how to practice does not like it and the one who cannot leave his heart and give himself for what he wants, the one who is tall does not like basketball and the one who is small would like to be tall to play it, there are many like Saul who have everything and do not fight and there are people like Mary who never get tired, who if they cannot with one thing try everything else to improve their life and future.
