Dear Friends
Today I was hearing interview with Abhinav Bindra, Sole Gold Medalist in Beijing Olympics for our country recently. During the interview, he never boast of his achievements, rather he said he simply played the sport and did not thought of the Medal. For him the win and loose were same except the fact that he was having full focus on the game and trying to give his best. This golden boy mentioned that he did not do any thing so far in last 12 years except the shooting, eating, running and shooting. In his words, it just happen that he won. He took it so lightly and attitude was so positive that this boy of 26 years was talking as if he is 62 years. Marvelous, I liked his approach. When interviewer asked him how much thrilled he was to win the gold, he said "Immediately he got excited and felt as if he has touched the peak of mountain but after two minutes got bored." He said it is sport there is no difference in win or loose. What matters is focus and efforts. We reach to mountain and then find nothing there. We search for anbother mountain but at the same mountain we start getting bore. What an approach. He never said about the time he put in the sport or the sacrifice he made into his daily life. He simply said and I quote "I just played the sport and it was my day so I won. That is it." Means he always put in his best but if he did not win some where it was because it same one else ' day. Great quote. When interviewer asked about the fun in life now after wining he simply said it is gone now. Being a celebrity he would not be leading normal life. There will always be focus on him.
In business and profession also we should adopt the same approach. Why we are in tension for getting some thing or loosing some thing, Forget it. Probably we loose focus and repent defeat. We run here and there , use all the tactics to achieve something and then? If we achieve, after some time start feeling bored, it is ok now what next? And if we loose, we feel as if world is over then and there itself. As we have become redundant. I dont know what it is? It is focus, it is efforts or what? He looses and feels OK it is not my day and feel happy but when we loose, we make up mind to do any thing for the defeat of the competitors.
Really friends we need to learn from this Boy. I salute him. He is really golden boy for the country.

It is always good in reading ur blog..U really mention things which can help one in their life. Reading this blog i remembered wht SWAMI VIVEKANAND had once said..We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves.If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that,whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions. So we have to know how to act.
