The golden boy Who is the star Who is good at everything Who the coach relay on If you get hurt the coach gets angery Every girl wants you But not this one Why? you may ask It is because you are the star And i'm not You have a huge group of friends And I don't Why should that matter? Because your the golden boy Everyone looks up to you If you fail a test Coach gets mad If you get in a fight Coach gets angery He counts on you Just like everyone else here But I don't because there is more in you then just being the "golden boy"

The golden boy

The golden boy Who is the star Who is good at everything Who the coach relay on If you get hurt the coach gets angery Every girl wants you But not this one Why? you may ask It is because you are the star And i'm not You have a huge group of friends And I don't Why should that matter? Because your the golden boy Everyone looks up to you If you fail a test Coach gets mad If you get in a fight Coach gets angery He counts on you Just like everyone else here But I don't because there is more in you then just being the "golden boy"

The clock is ticking, The tension is building, The crowd of competitors is thinning, The air is filled with the chills of cutthroat rivalry. At this point coursing through my veins is adrenaline giving me the courage and telling me," I CAN DO IT. " But how can I ignore the darkness within me, a voice whisper " What if .....?" "What if you fail?" " What if you forget? " "What if you make a fool out of yourself? " I'm lost. Forced to my feet by a distant call I rise. I find myself on center stage facing a multitude of stares. The crowds have now begun to resemble a hungry pack of wolves tearing into the fragile fabric of my being. Like a fledgling's first flight I take a leap of faith and I begin to speak. The words begin to flow out of me as the dam of my inhibitions shatters. The stares that once threatened to engulf me are now filled with wonder and awe as my aura captivates the crowd. The shackles of stage fright that held me back have now given way as I emerge from myself a new being devoid of the shroud of fear and adorned by a glistening veil of confidence and control. I felt lighter than before. I now stood with my head held high, a master of my shortcoming, a master of my fear. That's when it dawned on me Does winning matter anymore? Will that piece of metal change the person that I have become? and that's when I realized. It is not winning or losing that matters but participation. It is the thrill of a challenge, the fear of failure, and the joy praise that makes you who you are. And that is when I asked myself.... Is The Medal All I'm Worth?

Is The Medal All I'm Worth?

Again and again All over again The same thing gets repeated again. Agreed upon the fact that a mistakes have happened As of now, not only in the past, but also in the present Often it happens that when something is going on in the mind, one finds something similar to it in front of him, just before his own eyes Possibly an intution or just a coincidence Well, the same is true with regards to a mistake A mistake is a mistake that tends to remain a mistake unless and until an effort is not made to learn from the mistake. Always make sure that the same mistake is not repeated again. It is always easy to make any mistake, Making a careless mistake itself takes the least amount of efforts Equally important is to make sure that the mistake that has been made is understood at the first instance itself. The required lessons are learnt from the mistake that has been made Correcting the mistake is definitely important, Equally important is to keep in mind the fact that the same kind of mistake is not repeated again. Before getting ready for executing a task look at yourself In the mirror, look at yourself and while doing so you will come across a series of different thoughts. Also you will find so many questions that are going on in your mind Never mind to the doubts that have been raised over and over again A bit of anxiety proves to be good and helpful before the start of any particular task. What happens afterwards What follows later is not as important as important is the fact that you know what you are going to do while executing a task. Be yourself Be what you are Give your best in whatever you do Always be positive in your mind, think positively. No matter what happens in life, never think of giving up on anything in life since failure is the first step to success A mistake or two can happen, but then that must not dampen the spirit of moving ahead and getting things done Experience counts Experience matters Over a period of time experience is gained Step by step learn from each mistake Experience will get enriched over a period of time. Experience can never be gauged on the basis of one failure More in particular, The time when it comes to decide upon the future course of action Many things are decided on the basis of prior experience then So better not gauge the level of experience on the basis of one bad experience On the basis of one failure. When a mistake happens Whether it's small or big Nature of mistake all of a sudden does not become the criteria, However it's important, Never shy away from the fact that you have made a mistake Accept your mistake Also keep in mind Many more number of ways will always be there to avoid the same kind of mistake. Primarily because attitude matters a lot when it comes to winning or losing. So always be sure that like the rest of the other individuals even you are not perfect You can and you are bound to make a mistake, but then be firm that you learn from the same After all winning and losing has remained a part of the game since ages.

Its morning the sun is coming up tick-tock time for me to wake up. Father time doesn’t wait for no one he’s always on the move. Tick-tock every second, minute, and hour counts; time waits for no one to catch up. So, much pressure to figure things out, I’d wish time wasn’t so precious. Help me then Father Time to forget. Forget the scars of my life because, with time my scars haunt me inside instead. But, Father Time magic doesn't work like that. All he can do is give you is time to heal your pain, and figure things out. Now I have a chose what to do with my time that counts.
