It is common to hear people say that sports keep the body and mind healthy and fit. This is true.
But more than that, sports also make us leaders.
21st Century is an age that is complex and full of uncertainties. No one can say what will happen tomorrow and no one can solve all the problems on their own. They need the help of their team. Working in teams is a key requirement of today and in the future. Sports teaches us:
a. That the team is more important than the individual. In life you cannot win alone. You need the support of your team.
b. The principles on how to deal with failure:
Do not be afraid to fail.
If your do not fail, you cannot succeed.
Life is not about winning and losing; what matters is the effort you put in.
Winning is a byproduct.
(This is the essence of the message brought to newly elected Leaders of The Indus Student Council at Bangalore, by Lt. Gen. Arjun Ray (Retd.), CEO of the Indus Trust on the occasion of The Ceremony of Investiture on January 26th, 2012)
