Sportsmanship

                 
                     In a recently held sports competition in our school there was a lot of quarrels between two finalists,as they have been arch rivals since last three years.The team that lost the match blamed the umpires and accused them to be the main culprits behind their defeat.Also the winning side startled the losing one.Both the teams were competitive but the main thing they both lacked was the spirit of sportsmanship.
                     Sportsmanship is regarded as a component of morality in sport,composed of three related and perhaps overlapping concepts: fairplay,sportsmanship and character.Fair play refers to all participants treated equally and not blaming them for their blunders.And also behaving in dignified manner.Character mainly refers to disposition,values and habits that determine how one would respond in challenges,fears,opportunities,failures and successes.This good character is seen in a polite behavior towards players and officials and shaking hands after match.(seems i am quite childish,right?)
                     Sportsmanship is not booing someone after a match but is cheering by appreciating what they did.Sportsmanship is attitude,a code of conduct and a spirit of competition that permeate athletics.We must be proud,humble,competitive yet supportive.Because sports show us what we are and where we stand.And having written this much the words of an American basketball coach seem to be justified-"Sports don't build your character.They reveal it."

Where there is will there is way

                         It is said that,'nothing succeeds like success'. But how one becomes successful? What is the thing that pricks him to rise up? That thing is only his will power which proves to be stronger than his muscle power in most of the circumstances.
                        We say that God has gifted us the most precious thing he has-Life.So we should get out and live it and make the most of it.But from the driving force comes? It's only our will power.You don't succeed if you don't aspire to reach there.Because to be is to do.
                         We can even turn over the face of the entire world by our will and this has been proved by many great personnel.We can trap one's body but not one's soul and ideas.That's why even in the inhuman conditions of jail Lokmanya Tilak ignited the whole of India with his writings.Ch.Shivaji Maharaj took the oath of 'swaraj' at the age of just 14!
                         We should always think of things in various perspectives and we will get many solutions.While inventing electric bulb,Thomas Edison failed 10,000 times.But he never gave up and said that he never failed,but found out 10,000 different ways that won't work.
