Epitome of Patience & Sportsmanship

(1 minute Read)

If one wants to assimilate the vital attributes required for simple living, we can always look up to special people in our respective families. My paternal uncle sportingly accepted the numerous constraints, which he faced from an young age.

I was ruminating about Gyaan Nugget # 69 when two of his most brilliant qualities as a Table Tennis player flashed instantly. I can never forget his college championship final match in Dharwad, South India decades ago, which he won. His abundant patience in slowly wearing down his aggressive opponent was a treat to watch. The icing on the cake was his sportsmanship while he acknowledged his opponent’s winning points at some tense moments in the match. He displayed these qualities irrespective of the type of match or sport. The ultimate beauty was that he applied the same qualities with aplomb in his personal and professional lives.

Whenever and Wherever I need to derive inspiration, I recollect those precious memories which I had with my uncle and feel energized. FRIDAY GYAAN is available in Amazon in both ebook and paperback versions – Visit Website http://www.authorshankar.com)
