Bestest: The journey continues #12

Sid was all ears while Tej was narrating his story. Tej’s academic transformation was nothing short inspirational, thanks to a stroke of luck that led the wise man’s book to end up with him. While Tej was narrating his story, Sid was also learning at the same time as he himself was looking forward to crack his competitive exams. He was missing the guidance that the wise man offered and he needed it more that ever in order to cross the next academic hurdle. In his eagerness, Sid asks Tej to continue and tell him what he learnt from the wise man about champions.

Tej continues with his story …. Tej had learnt that the wise man was hinting that while most people were content with their achievements and they stopped short of becoming a champion. He didn’t want to stop now. So he continues to do what he had been doing so far, what he had learnt from the wise old man. When he found time later that week, Tej decides to read the book further. The wise old man was now sharing the qualities and practices of champions. He continues to read …

ONCE UPON A TIME IN ANCIENT GREECE
AN ARCHER LIKE NO OTHER CAME. WITH ALL QUALITIES TO MAKE IT IN THE OLYMPIC HALL OF FAME
THE ARCHER WAS OFTEN HITTING HIS AIM
AGAINST PLAYERS FROM FAR AND WIDE, STOOD AT TOP OF THE CHARTS HIS NAME
BUT VICTORY AND SUCCESS GOT TO HIM, AND AFTER THAT, HE WAS NO LONGER THE SAME
BEING GROUNDED, FAIR AND SANE
IS WHAT SEPARATES CHAMPIONS FROM THE REST STANDING IN THE LANE
FOR CHAMPIONS KNOW THAT SPORTMANSHIP, NOT DECEIT, RAISES THE STANDARD OF THE GAME

Tej at once knew, what he should continue to do and what he should avoid at the cusp of success
