Focus

Williams sisters are in Wimbledon Finals, repeat, finals. There were 126 other girls . Alright. A good job done ...a lot of money to be earned..bravo. But...

These 'girls' are on stage for about last 20 years , give or take a year or two, and still make it to the finals where world's best are competing...This is what is so special....They are still not tired..they are still finding it worthwhile..they are still able to practice the same game ..keep the body fit..AND...most importantly..not get bored.

'Not getting bored ' is one thing which separates them from others of their ilk. Their mind is trained to not to rebel against practicing on and on...keeping the body disciplined...not to surrender to the other worldly temptations ..

Consider similar examples...Martina Navaratilova playing in Grand slam at the age of 46 , Marlyn Oooty running 100 meter-dash finals at her 7th Olympics at the age of 40... they are absolutely focussed on what they are doing, they enjoy it to the extent that no other 'enjoyment' is able to distract them...

hello brother ,
saw ur comment just now .your anger is jusr coz u misunderstood me, mere bhai m not denouncing any religion . i love peace ,humanity and unity. i believe in 'insaniyat mazhab '.no mazhab is bad only d followers make it bad. i just want 2 say dat we ignore insaan but praise blood, statue.kursi,money etc..in our country farmers doing suicide due 2 debt, poor becoming criminals due to hunger .curruption is everywhere but we r spending money 4 superstitions and over d nonliving things which we could have used 2 save so many helpless people.
yes no doubt that i love urdu and very much impressed by islam...coz its a very good.and universal religion but it doesn't mean dat m insulting hindus. how could I ? if i love urdu does it mean I hate hindi or any other language ? if i feel dis is d most beautiful language ,m i denoncing English ? no brother i dont need only wah wah .or publicity or masala or sympathy.i m on stage since so many years,I never used any bad words,foul comments or latka-jhatka. i just need ur love and blessings . and one more thing jo allah kahelwata hai wo main kahti hoon.i dont write.. 2 writing poetery is a god giftlike thing so m nothing.without his blessings and words. kahin bhi kutch bhi bura hota hai to mera dil bhi rota hai .qatl.nafrat. firqaparasti.sazish kaun pasand karega. I request u 2 hear that nazm once again.;in 2.3 bands im appealing 4 peace, insaniyat ,good deed and good path.. it may take time 2 make u understand
