‘A successful person is not a victim of the environment.’ I read this very inspiring quote from somewhere I can’t tell by now. This has been one of my many lines that can tick my heart and lift my spirit within the shortest time.
Today I wish to focus on the spirit of never giving up. The spirit of holding on to your principles, the grip of holding to your vision, to the hope and the will to thwart any weakness in you.
Recently I watched a very touching clip on YouTube. It was about this young man who was in a race in Olympics. After the starting shot went, the inspired lad sprinted with the sole aim of winning the race. However, some distance from the finish line, the young man limped and suddenly came to a halt as he held his thigh with one hand. His face was full of expressions. You could clearly see that he was in pain and with an expression of why? Why? He went down. Soon the first aid team was rushing to help him.
However the greatest show of inspiration came! The unwavered young man, full of strength though in pain, rose and started limping along the path. He could not just give up!
One old man, who was later learnt to be his father, came out of the cheering crowd and tried to stop him. The spirit was high and the athlete kept on and on. He wanted to finish what he had started and that is what mattered most to him.
The fans cheered him on; and when he went ahead to cross the finish line.
Awesome!
Many a time in our lives we run such races. We develop such complications in the race. We fall down. We feel pain.
But remember that what matters most is finishing the race. Never give up despite the environment you are living in. make the best out of it and you will certainly succeed.
