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.
Story:
My parents are celebrating their 40th marriage anniversary. They wanted to celebrate it in a very grand manner. I have 3 siblings and I am the last child to my parents. My husband and I reached my parent's house 1 week earlier. Likewise, other two siblings came with their respective family.
The house was in full swing. As usual, I was left out of the preparation. So, I made myself chill and relaxed in my room. I was having a very fun time. My sister came and asked me to company her to some errands. I was in no mood to help her. But, the thing I married pushed me to help her, so I went with her.
She took me to my parents' room straight. They were talking to a florist. After the florist left, we both sat in a chair. I usually maintain distance with my parents, as I don't like to physically touch them. The next question my sister asked froze me. She asked to segregate the jewels between me and her, as they gave one share to my other sister.
I was about to stand but my mother's look stopped me. Thanks to my sister and husband for a situation that I would have never encountered in my life. Later, I mustered courage and told thanked my parents for the education they provided and it is more than enough for me and left the room.
