TUnowing passage carefully
Once a famous tennis player was scheduled to play in a championship game with her most
formidable rival. At the last minute, she gave the excuse of not feeling well and refused to play.
Her reputation was ruined. Until the day of her death, she was regarded as a 'poor sport' afraid of
defeat. Why is such a high value put on good sportsmanship in the playing games? Are the
games and sports so important? No, but the traits a person shows in playing a game, teveal his
character and breeding The qualities needed in games are the same needed for decent living,
faimess, honour, self control, willingness to abide by the rules, just tempered by restraint and
ability to win or lose with good spirit. If you cannot muster up any interest in a game, you had
better stay out of it. A half hearted player who does not keep his mind on the game, is forever
asking, "Oh, is it my turn?" and plainly does not care how things tum out, and is an annoyance.
The ideal player plays for the fun of playing. He tries to win, yet he is not so eager that he jumps
in ahead of his turn or claims victory before the game is over
