If you plan to win, you will never win!!!

As a young and energetic boy, I’m inclined with different sports.  Suffice to say though that I have chosen the field of table tennis. I was around 6 or 7 years old when I became eager to play one. On the other hand it was only in high school where I became more anxious and exposed to it. I can still remember that feeling of always wanting to learn and apply new things whenever I had a chance to play ping pong. Driven by the power of choice at an early age of mine.


The 1st time won, I became more eager to feel again and again that same feeling. My parents, relatives, and friends are proud and fulfilment is in the air. It’s like “Hey, I’m the guy”! Obviously I hate the opposite thereof especially when they’re expecting much from me.  And here’s what I noticed.  More often, the reason why I lose is due too much expectation from them or even my crush. I don’t want to lessen even a degree of how they look at me. In short I don’t want them to be disappointed. I thought, this idea would help me grow, be better and stretch myself. I want to gain their respect.  I reason out that I simply want to win but deep inside I really don’t want to lose. The power of choice has pushed me to a different path of true wining.  My goal of learning new things has left me. I tend to compete instead of playing. I treated them as my opponent not as co-player. I imagined them as a threat rather than a friend or fellowmen.
