the feeling of disappoinment really sucks. now i probably understand why atheletes cry when they don't get their gold medal in the olympics. the road to the olympics must be a lonely and arduous one. imagine the life of training hard, while all your friends are enjoying life - the olympic dream is not just a physical war, but a mental and psychological one.
what could have ben in the minds of the koreans paddlers when they were beaten by the singaporean gals, who won Singapore our very first medal after 48 years? i think it should be thoughts like "my efforts have gone down the drain", " i am not as good afterall", "my world fell apart"... afterall, their fall isnt light ....afterall, they might not have another chance...
there are always times when situations seem bleak and hopeless, and we feel like giving in to the temptation to just give up... yet another voice, small but strong whispers... "Is there not a cause?"
well, theres always a time for to cry and to be disappointed. but what's important, its to pick yourself out of the situation, and start afresh. forget about the defeats in the past, ignore whatever that seems impossible in the future. just do all you can for the present. And remember, it's not for medals, not for recognition, but for PASSION.
