Perseverance
This is one of the best words I feel in the language of English. This word reminds me of lot. A lot of perseverance that Mahatma Gandhi had towards achieving the freedom for India. A lot of perseverance that Nelson Mandela had towards achieving the freedom of rights in South Africa. And a lot can be said about this.
But, why suddenly this word makes such an importance is that, I was just looking at the Olympics and felt there are two different nations at extreme ends of the same, but one had the perseverance on a national account to achieve, While the other on an Individual account to achieve. Believe, you all would be aware of, Its none other than India and China.
At every Olympic, every Indian across the continent, believes and hopes with bathed breath, that India would win many gold medals. And finally as the game proceeds, we are only made to understand that, its not the national effort that had played a major role in wining the Olympic game, but the individual perseverance to win the same for the nation. This I believe is lot different when compared to China, Where the Chinese national effort with Perseverance over a decade has steadily been growing and today, they made record of all sorts with then highest number of medals.
Every India, feels happy when that one India wins the medal. But later he feels anguished on the note of understanding, the effort that had been put by the individual to win the same without any great sort of help from the nation. So where does all the funds of the Olympic committee being invested. Believe they aren’t in the stock market or the uphill luxury plots.
Over there, China has consistently benchmarked their standards against the competition and invested the resources and timing in to this magnificent game and today, The Perseverance of the nation has paid off. And all the Chinese are proud at what the nation has streamlined its effort on this one of the magnificent game to achieve.
And every lndian still believes that the government would evaluate the situation and come out with stringent plans to ensure the perseverance of the Individual is brought on to the national level to even out the gap of medals. And considering the amount of fund flow into the nation, this would be only miniscule portion of the same to be directed to a good effort. And there are a lot more players, who are practicing every day and night, towards that golden one with their perseverance of winning the same at any cost. If the nation comes in and let their hand, I will be also proud to be, that We have achieved. And Every Indian like me is jus waiting for the same.
