- Because its not just a game of tennis -Im a fierce competitor. I dont show it on the surface, but once you get me onto any match-up for any kind of sport, regardless of whether im good in it so whatsoever, im there to win. Sometimes i believe that fighting to win is not just because you had the ability to do so. I see competitiveness as the acknowledgement that you have something to live and fight for; whether it is for the team, for glory, for fame, but most importantly for yourself. Because life's a battle; it has been since the moment we were born to this world, and competing makes me feel alive, because i know very well that if im not going to take the chance to win, anyone will be able to, and ultimately i will just be left behind; without any fight left in me, and that's when the danger really strikes you, because you realise that you do not care about anything anymore, and the passion leaves you, throwing you into the shadows of your own life. And its an oxymoron isnt it, to let your shadows take the lead in your life when they are supposed to be always following behind. And then there's the thing about beliefs. We all believe strongly in things unimaginable, i mean, each to his own. We criticise others when they step over our threshold level for things we condone. But there's always that devil at the back sniggering isnt it? What happens when we are in the same situation? Can we really guarantee that we would not practice the vices we spent all our lives condemning, even if it might lead to substantial losses to us in one way or the other? The truth is, the fact has still always remained the same that we are man, and we make mistakes. It has never got to do with anything from others. We have, and always will be the greatest threats to ourselves with the decisions we choose to make. So you know what i say? I say stop thinking, and just let the present take its course. Forget about your beliefs and forget about the past. Needless to say, forget about expecting anything from the future. Learn from the present, stay in the present, and live in the present, and be content with the present. Because it is only when you do so when you appreciate and be grateful for everything that has happened around you in this world...And..
Speaking about a great competitor, my favourite player has won Wimbledon again! Her 5th! And then the doubles crown too! (: What a superb role model!
