Mental Toughness
Mental toughness is a valuable quality. Both Santosh Yadav and Maria Sharapova had it. Santosh Yadav’s life inspires and motivates all to believe in the immense potential and ability of girls. She believed in herself, her dreams, and aspirations. She proved success is determined by the conviction. She also faced a lot of opposition from the people around. She was discouraged and tried very hard not to go for the mountain climbing. But she knew she had to do it. She worked perseveringly, doggedly, facing all the challenges with a smile. The more the opposition, the stronger her resolve grew to climb the Everest. With God’s grace she became the first woman in the world to climb Mount Everest twice, and the first woman to successfully climb Mt Everest from Kangshung Face.
Maria Sharapova is quite a strong, courageous, and resilient woman. She had unshakable determination and mental toughness; though there were so many obstacles, yet she never thought of quitting. She had to make many sacrifices to achieve success in tennis. Maria paid the price in the form of loss of her mother’s love at the tender age of 10. Her father, Yuri took her to America for tennis training; unfortunately, her mother, Yelena had to stay back in Siberia because she was not issued visa. Even in America, she had to face lots of challenges. Her father could also not see her quite often as he had to work to provide for her tennis training. Another annoying problem was the bullying of her senior tennis trainees. After training, Sharapova would go to bed early at 8 p.m. The senior tennis players would come late at 11 p.m. They would often wake her up and order her to tidy up the room and clean it. Sharapova faced all these problems courageously and determinedly.
