Answer:
Each one of us has some or the other qualities in ourselves which differentiate us from other people. The vital need is to search it out of our soul and when we have sought it, excelled in it, and the need of the hour then is to be humble and not be over-confident. When we excel in a particular field, all have high expectations from us to perform well. There the humbleness and sincerity of our mind comes into play.
I too possess a talent and this is how I became aware of it. One day, I went to play badminton and I was astonished to find that the traditional and basic shots came naturally to me. I thought that this was an extraordinary trait gifted to me. I started to pursue my career as a badminton player. I worked hard for two years until I became the champion at the district level. I had stepped into the professional panel of this game. I thought that I was the best in the district and this thought convinced me to decrease the length of my practice sessions and my mind was on the seventh heaven. I stopped paying attention to senior players or the coach's advice.
Days passed, it was time now for the state level tournament. After winning districts, I had lost my humble attitude and was full of over-confidence. I thought that I would conquer the state level forgetting that there were many other district level players like me. To my utter surprise, I was knocked out in the first round by a player whom I had defeated at the district level. It was an extremely shocking and traumatic moment for me.
I had let down my parents and my coach and I felt ashamed to show my face to them. My coach came searching for me and I feared that he would lash out at me for losing such an important match, but rather he was calm and affectionate. In a matter of five minutes, he taught me the greatest lesson of my life- hard work and humbleness.
He explained he had been noticing my change of attitude which was the cause of my downfall. He also pointed to my over-confident behaviour and advised that one should always be rooted to the earth, no matter whatever height of success one reaches. Moreover one should always be humble and respectful at all times even to our opponents. From then on, I vowed to follow my guide's advice all my life.
My coach wanted to teach this lesson in a practical way, therefore didn't point my shortcomings earlier. Though I suffered a big defeat, but it is never too late to pick up the shreds and weave a bed of roses for yourself.
Answer:
I am going to talk about a time when I was in a dangerous situation. When I was ten years old two guys mugged me, they threatened me with a knife and I was so scared. I thought that they were going to hurt me or even kill me.
My father had a restaurant and he needed smaller bills to give change so he could not leave the restaurant. He sent me to buy some groceries. On my way to the groceries store, two guys told me to come closer. I refused and walked away as fast as I could, they came after me and grabbed me from my arms.
I can clearly remember them saying “What do you have? Give me all that you have or we will hurt you.” I did not respond to them because I was so scared that I could not do it. They started to drag me to a near dumpster. I remember I thought that that would be my end. Seems like it was not my time to go, because a man saw what was happening and ran to help me, he yelled at the muggers and they panicked. They grabbed my cellphone and ran, they did not find the money my father gave me, because hopefully I had hidden it on my socks just in case and my precaution was worth it.
The man asked me if I was ok. I was still in shock, trying to assimilate what just happened but I replied “yes, thank you”, he took me to my father’s restaurant and told him what had happened, my father hugged me tightly and thanked the man for saving me. Being mugged was probably the scariest situation I have ever experienced. I was a 10 years old kid who did not know if he was going to return to his home or see his parents again. I never want to live that experience again and I would never wish that to anyone .
