Defeats...

The art of handling defeats, this is something which cannot be learnt easily and this is also something which most of us dont want to learn.It is being told that people who take their defeat lightly are true sportsperson, but isnt the true sportsman known for his thirst for victory.

Now how to handle it? As such i was very bad at handling defeats or failures.I am still afraid of failure but i have learnt that life goes on. Also its very simple to handle them.Here is what i learnt:

You can lose in two ways either because of you or because of others. If you are losing because of you, then it doesn't mean that you are not fit for it (as i used to say), it is just that you did not give your best or it just wasn't your day. Probably the person who beat had give his/her heart and soul into it. And when you lose because of others just take it light. See a one man army cannot succeed always. There could be great individual performances, but for a team to win we always need a good team performance. This is something which we always see with Sachin and India. When your team mates are not upto your class you cant do anything about it. You can just do your best.

Just remember that you cannot play for everyone in the team or work for everyone. If you have done your best and if you are satisfied with your performance just keep up the good work. Success will come and find you one day for sure!!!
