I could concentrate but couldn't win.

I could concentrate but couldn't win. But I was glad for my presence in that state of meditation. There was a zen master in Japan, I don't remember his name. He was teacher of archery but never could get his aim correct. Never in his lifetime could he hit the target. He always missed it. But people came to him for learning. Everyone knew he was a failure but they came to him. For just one quality, whatever he did, he did with complete concentration, in a meditative stance. Right from putting the arrow on the bow to the point it hit target, the master was in the amazing sense of meditation. Even the greatest archers of Japan came to him for learning this state. In Japan, everyone is taught to concentrate before doing anything. Let it be any art, any science it should be concentration and meditation. Japanese Samurai are considered to be the strongest military people. They have short height but were equivalent to ten american soldiers during world war-II.
