Coming to me: When I had to give my name for a particular event, I told our leader that I'm a very bad Athlete and that I would participate in simplest event. But these words of mine made a great damage. Later when I was interested in participating in events like Tug of war and Relay, I was never considered. Indeed everyone started to believe that I'm a bad athlete. But later I learnt that Im not very bad. Almost all were bad athletes except few great women. Indeed with the regular yoga practice I was having good stamina too. I ran with the best woman athlete Amrapali to cheer her up! Later, I felt I should have participated at least in 100 mts. I repented my statement "Im a very bad athlete" so much those 2 days..
Lessons learnt: Never think that you are weak. Even if you believe, do not declare it. You might be able to do it better than many others. Dont give up without trying!!
