We all have very funny REASONS for not doing something, starting with 'i had a struggling childhood' to 'i was not supported by my teachers'. And then, from out of the blue, comes an example that puts us to shame. We all know the story of Oscar Pistorius, the blade runner, who defied all odds to qualify for examples. He never cited the EXCUSE of not having legs to not perform in Olympics. His goal was- "Legs or no legs, I should qualify." We have Mary Kom, a tribal woman, a mother of two, becoming five-time World Boxing Champion & winning bronze medal for India. They learnt what they were determined to, despite all odds, without any help. They could learn because of their determination. So, next time you give any reason, think about it. Remember, we have one good REASON to do something or hundred EXCUSES for not doing it. Learn to make a distinction between the two. Happy Learning !
