After winning 5 Wimbledon titles in a row ,Roger Federer was all set to create a record in Tennis history by winning this year's title too. Whole world was anticipating his victory but Nadal smashed all his hopes and won a spectacular ever Wimbledon men's title this year.
Inspite of his last two defeats in Wimbledon finals Nadal never lost his confidence and belief in himself . Obviously his previous failure would have been running in his mind before he entered this final ,but he learnt from his previous defeats came back into the game splendidly .
In normal circumstances any ordinary individual would have lost his hope of winning against a person who has become the Master of Grass Court Tennis and one would have lost simply because of his lack of confidence and fear. To win in any given challenge one has to have belief in himself and his ability .
I still remember what our Principal ad viced us a week before high school examination " Some people are gifted by god with natural talent ,they do things with less effort and with ease ,does that mean all others should giveup their hopes to compete with the high performers ? No ! For instance if a talented person takes 2 hrs to study a subject others may take 4 hrs or 8 hrs to complete the same ,by putting additional effort we can equal them " .
It took 2 years for Nadal to overcome roger , his hard work paid and he proved himself in Grass court also.
Failures are only a setback in our journey to our goal ,we should not pull our self back from moving forward rather learn from our failures and move ahead.
Remember - "A man is sum of his thoughts "
