I AM A CHAMPION

 

“When you discipline yourselves to the best practices of life you become a benchmark to the world,”

While I was reading the book, “The Lives of Great Men,” in which the author traces the lives of the Movers & Shakers of the world, I found that they were all very ordinary people before they became extraordinary individuals. They had certain exceptional qualities in them that made them such achievers. They embraced the best practices of life and disciplined themselves, and hence became a champion in life. Not all can become a champion, whether it is championing a Cause or becoming a champion in a chosen field.  

There are so many entrepreneurs in the world, but only one Ratan Tata, one Mukesh Ambani, one Jeff Bezos or one Elon Musk. There are so many dancers, singers, sports persons, actors, musicians, etc. But only a few are world renowned. Only a few are considered as champions. Many run the race, but only one person wins the gold medal. He is called the champion and the others are called the also rans.  What sets the champions apart from the rest? What makes them an achiever? Is it capability, or luck? Or is there something more than all these?

1. Champions are highly “Passionate” about what they are doing. They want to be the best.  Hence, there is a lot of sincerity in their action. They will not compromise whatsoever. There is a burning passion for what they want to achieve. Hence, they never feel tired.

2. Champions have very high “Energy Levels.”  Enthusiasm is a part of anything they do. That gives them the energy they need. The Cause they represent or the goal they wish to achieve, gives them high energy.
