lose before you win

-




“Winning gives us satisfaction. Losing makes us a learner.”  

Life is competition. Oh! Sorry. We made it a competition. If you don’t do well in life, you are surely going to suffer in life. Let’s say: Without winning you land nowhere. I heard once, life of a winner is better than life of a loser. Many people agree with this statement but I don’t feel it is true.  Of course a winner gets a lot of attention, love and appreciation, which a winner deserves. On the other hand, a loser is depressed, gets ignored by people and no one actually understands a loser. But life of a loser is still better than life of a winner because a loser knows the importance of winning and at the same time he knows the disadvantages of being a loser.
The story doesn’t ends here. Winning and losing is much more than what you think it is. While the winner is celebrating his win, the loser is working hard to develop his skills, and knowledge for the upcoming competition. The loser may feel – last time his hard work was of no use and many distracting thoughts may occur in his mind. He may also feel – if he participates and loses again then he would become laughingstock for a day for some people. Still loser won’t give up and start working harder because he knows nothing beats hard work, not even luck!  
After sometime, after working hard for months, after giving his best shot, the loser wins something lesser than what he desired but you know what, he is still happy because he won. He is happy because he knows the importance of not winning and he knows what it means to lose. He may not be the best but he is not a loser anymore. He became a learner the day he started to worry about his future by working hard at present. Some may think winning is everything, but only those who will value failures and losing would know how to deal with the toughest times!
Being happy during your good days is nice but, being happy during your worst days is an art.

Laughing At Yourself is More Important Than Laughing At Others!

I have seen people getting angry at them, feeling guilty about mistakes they did but what I haven’t seen yet is – people never laugh at themselves. It has ever happened that – a classmate of yours has asked a foolish question to your professor and it is followed by a string of laughter. Have you eve r felt laughing at others is very easy but being a laughing stock is hard? The feeling of being a fun element is hard to swallow but laughing at something or someone is never tough. Everyone’s Target Making fun of others and taunting them again and again about where they went wrong, and how foolish they’re won’t help you in life. What really helps in life is observing your mistakes and working on it. The example of laughter I gave in the first paragraph can also influence a person in a negative way. It or she may develop fear of becoming a figure of fun and would never any question ever in front of people. Yes, it is also a kind of indirect bullying. Well, laugh...

Short Story: Man Standing in the Dark (Part One)

Part One   HOW OFTEN DO WE COME ACROSS A MAN WHO STANDS ON A DARK ROAD EVERY NIGHT TO DO A VERY STRANGE ACTIVITY?  Since last three years, I have developed this habit of not sleeping until 3 .a.m. in the morning. I don’t know why but I read all night and sleep all day. Everyone at home is mad at me except for one person. That is my father, who is a retired lawyer. Every day it is my mother, who is yelling at me, but I don’t see him having any problem with me reading all night. Initially, I thought he’s bored and he doesn’t give fuck about what I do, but it is not that way. Maybe he’s aware that I am not gonna do anything wrong staying awake all night, I thought. This thought rested other thoughts which were about to take birth and float in my mind for the rest of the time until I got a real answer to it. Helpless, I knew, those’ll come out anyhow.             So, one day, when I was sitting reading a Stephe...

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

MS Dhoni—the name needs no introduction. He is also known as Captain Cool. He is also known as the best finisher, best wicket-keeper, Mahi, etc. Yesterday, when I heard about Dhoni stepping down as India’s limited over’s captain. It came as a shock to me. It was unexpected but with Dhoni it is always a surprise. Like every cricketing fan, I also became sad by learning the fact that he only had one match to go for completing the milestone of 200 matches as a captain. Before his decision— I was observing from the last few months, every article in the newspaper regarding Dhoni had a piece of his retirement plans and his unsuccessful campaign in World T20. Some articles also stated that Dhoni is done with his successful career and he should retire. Everyone in the press started asking him questions regarding his retirement. Although, our Captain Cool, stayed calm and answered the questions tactfully without creating a big issue. Sometimes he did lose his coolness but he never sto...
