A Word Of Encouragement

It's been so long since I have written a blog. Ah the feels! So, what's going on with life? I don't know about you, but I know about me for sure. I am a college girl now, and RIO OLYMPICS!

OK I know India isn't doing any well, and we haven't won any medal as yet, but how does it matter?

What I have heard all this time is that "India is just losing everything", "Have they gone for just losing?" blah-blah-blah. And I have heard all this from people who don't even watch Olympics and just give their verdict.

They think it's way too easy, whereas to even qualify for the Olympics is a pretty big deal,  and if you think it is way too  effortless then why don't you try your fortune? All the athletes that go out there know how imperative it is for them to win a medal. They know the pressure that is upon them, the eyes that are upon them.

Everyone in this world wants to be distinctive, wants to have an accomplishment to boast about, and that's why everyone goes out there in the field to attest themselves. It isn't a triumph for anyone to know that they didn't succeed, or didn't come up to the expectations.

 I think people don't take into account the effort and struggle these athletes go through. People just judge them as if they know them. But one's  got to remember that "people will talk, and they need not worry. Never give up. There are too many naysayers out there who will try to discourage you. Don't listen to them. The only one who can make you give up is yourself." And I find it funny how people who barely know the person or their story act like they have all the rights to judge them with the little information they got.

I am not trying to offend someone,  but people should appreciate the hard work that goes through. And it's a competition, someone's got to win, and someone's got to lose. Everyone works hard to win, and we all should support the athletes of a country that at least, they go to such a big platform to represent India. It's such a big of a deal that our athletes work hard and qualify for the biggest game event. And I'm sure one day their hard work will pay off.

 We should value them because they are footing at the dais where we can't even think of getting. Learn to value each other and when someone is appreciated, they do more than what is expected. Therefore persuade one another and build up each other.

"A single word of encouragement during a failure is worth more than an hour of praise after success."
