A feel-good-about-yourself story


Po is a Panda bear who loves “Kun Fu”. He is a really big fan and he dreams to be the top kun fu warrior in his land (The Valley of Peace) someday. His father is a duck (we never know why) who wants him to inherit his ‘Noodles Soup” Shop. As Po doesn’t want to disappoint him, he never tells him about his real dream. However, the opportunity to become a warrior appeared when the biggest enemy of the city broke out of jail. Only the Dragon Warrior could safe the city from that enemy. Fulfilling an ancient prophecy, the Dragon Warrior was supposed to be chosen from the whole population. And guess what? Po was the one!. And he started to learn Kun Fu with the Master Shifu and the lengendary “Furious Five”, his idols. But there was a little problem: Po was fat, incompetent and nonflexible. Moreover, nobody was happy with the Sensei's election and nobody believed that Po could be the Dragon Warrior. Although Po was looked as the “anti hero”, he had two powers: his passion and his enthusiasm. He only needed to believe in himself. “Believe”, what a powerful word.
His Kun Fu Master as well as the Five Warriors wanted him to give up. However, Po knew that a real warrior never quits. “You not belong here”, “This is not your place” everyone said making Po feeling really upset. And do you know what a weak soul do when he feels upset? He eats. “I eat when I am upset” Po said. Hahaha. It’s not only me!
Nevertheless he received a good advice from the Sensei: “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift. You have to believe in yourself and you will be surprised of what you really can do”. If you believe in yourself, you can do anything. Believe in yourself and just be you. There is no more secret ingredient in the noodles soup’s recipe than that. Believe in it and it will be.
