That’s the spirit
I was at a sports meet organised for children during the
weekend.
It was interesting to see boys and girls coming early in the
morning and competing with each other to win in each event they participated.
The weather was excellent and so was the ambience.
There was one event where children in pairs had to run
together with one leg each of the participant tied to the other. With limited
coaching I found a pair of girls winning well ahead of their competitors.
In another race, a group of girls competed against each
other. A few of them ran really fast. When the race finished I saw all of them
together sharing their experiences.
Among them was a girl who despite losing, remained very
positive and told others, “Hey, I lost.” What a spirit!
Those were the most beautiful words I listened to in the
recent times.
We have a lot to learn observing our children.
