Success is good, but
failure is a better teacher
SUNDAY was
an eventful day for me. The Tata Mumbai Marathon is bigger than what I had
anticipated.
Thousands and thousands of people lining up to run various events
in the Mumbai marathon, it was an amazing sight. The enthusiasm to run or move
in this country is infectious and am happy that the running revolution is
booming in India. Hopefully, this will lead to great things and one day, they will
have an Olympic champion in track and field.
To become a champion you need role models. Obviously, if your parents run then
the child gets a role model at home. This inspires the next generation and then
it will lead to a sporting revolution. Playing sport is a very healthy habit.
And I believe if an adult inspires a youngster to take up a sport, then there
is no greater motivating factor. There were over 44 thousand runners attempting
to run on Mumbai”s streets on Sunday. Once you cross the finish line, you get
hooked on to running irrespective of the distance you have done.
I hope each and every runner sufficiently is satisfied with his/
her performance. For those who achieved their deserved goal, it is the way to
go forward. You can dream to set up new goals within the boundaries that you
set for yourself. For those who did not achieve the desired success, there is a
greater motivating factor for you to continue doing what you attempted on
Sunday. Success is great for the state of mind but failure is always a greater
teacher.
I am happy I accepted the role of an ambassador of the Tata Mumbai
marathon. I hope to have future engagements with this magnificent country of
yours, to see how it is growing as a sporting nation. A sporting nation is a
healthy nation, a healthy nation is a happy nation.
