This post is not an immediate REACTION...this is not a reactive and irritated and frustrated outburst...The tears and the disbelief has been shed in the wee hours of today...
25 seconds could well have seperated the Indians from the medal...
When it comes to matters of the brain and mental Sharpness..Few can beat the indians...The US junta should vouch for this and this is no discovery...INDIANS are the "brainy bunch" of the world...
But when it comes to Matters of the MIND and mental strength...
am sorry to say Indians including this mortal are NOT strong and are not in control of their thoughts...
Is it due to their society and the way parents PAMPER and carry children in their shoulders till they grow up? This mite directly affect the mental strength...
Is it due to the passionate and emotional nature that can be attributed to the middle class and the sense of NOW or NEVER that generally is associated with them?
Intellectually Class, Mentally Mass.,that is the middle class...
When it comes to pressure and hanging to the edge of the cliff...the fall scares the Indians...
Is it because the consequences overwhelm us and we tend to thus focus on the result when the focus ought to be on the process?
Yes to all of these...
Fear of failure is India's greatest Nemesis...
Trust me a LOT OF IT holds with me also...I am victim to a lot of feelings that i have documented...Trust me it hurts to know our short coming and not be in a position to do anything about it...
Maybe we should just deliver and not think...
Maybe Indians should start being driven by Reason and not emotion...
But isnt that asking for too much?
Is a revolution in the operational process of the indian mind and psyche possible overnight?
I for one am trying to believe that we will have wake up one fine day mentally strong...But that is the pessimist in me talking..I am hoping against hope a process of achieving mental strength will be in place soon..both at the personal and the national level...The process will be different for different people but the basis cant be too disparate...
Till then its a case of conscious incompetence with regards to mental strength...
One sure conclusion...
Well...the focus has to be in the matters of the mind...That is the only path towards that elusive medal in sport and SUCCESS matching potential in all walks of LIFE...
Awareness is the zeroth step...We are at ground zero now...
Lets build the great STRONG Indian Mind...
