Japanese high schooler dubbed "the most annoying batter of all time"

In The Art of War, Sun Tzu illustrates the importance of adaptability with passages like this:

"Flexibility in our lives means having a fundamental ability to relate to any new environment and excel in it. Instead of fighting it, you greet it with open arms and observe it; instead of criticizing it, you caress it and understand it; instead of ignoring it, you make it yours and be one with it."
