One day this rich king wanted to hire the best security in the world. He heard that samurai were very adept with swords and he wanted to hire the best samurai there was.
He called three of the best samurai to meet him one day. While the king was thinking of how to choose the best, he noticed that flies were in the room with them, and annoying. So he came up with the idea.
He commanded the first samurai to kill a fly buzzing near him.
The first samurai stepped forward - quickly unsheathed his sword and with a back hand flip - sliced the fly in half - and quickly resheathed his sword.
The king was impressed, he looked at the second samurai -
Who immediately stepped forward and drew his sword quickly and in two strokes - cut a fly passing by - into three peices. The samurai smiled, he knew his trick would be hard to out do.
The king was really impressed. He looked at the third samurai and said "what will you do with that fly?" pointing at another buzzing in front of them.
The third samurai, grunts and draws his sword with a might Ki-ai! and slashed once at the passing fly and quickly resheathed his sword.
The fly continues away. The king is puzzled, and not impressed.
He says" You missed?! He got away!"
The third samurai said
"I did not miss, that fly will never have sex again"

Thanks! I think the point of my story is that no matter the odds you face, there is always a win, and perhaps by doing something outside the box.
