I have come here at my granny's place. There is a large playground nearby. In the morning, I went jogging in the ground for the first time as I was new there.. There, I saw a gathering of youths of around my age. First, I completed two rounds of the ground. It appeared that some competitions were going to be held there. Since I was curious, I ask one of them what was to happen there. I got to know that races, long jump and high jumps were going to be organised. Winners would be awarded as well. Names of willing participants were being registered. I also got my name noted down for 100 metres' race. Registration fee was Rs. 15/- only. Why am I telling you this? The reason is it's a little bit interesting. I don't have a well-built personality that a common youth should have. I have never thought of winning a race. No one can even think of me doing anything in sports. Such has been my upbringing in which sports were considered to be the reason of spoiled life. But, only I know what harm I have had to go through because of not having involved in sports during my childhood. My belief is sports are as important as education. Sports play a greater role in molding someone's personality and ensuring one's over-all development. 

     What I want to say is I participated in the race despite various excuses.

Because, I don't want to be counted in the list of those who accept defeat even before taking part in the game. Even after I got my name enrolled for the race, my mind was trying to distract me, saying that I couldn't win. I objected my mind by saying, 'I will definitely run the race. I don't care of winning of losing.' Exactly, this is what is a must. What do you think?
