When we were in sixth grade, we used to read that if you go on playing and playing, you will end up at a dark future, and there will be nothing for you. You will regret later but the time will not come back! This adage was in Punjabi; and we, the students, were always wondering that how can anybody live without playing. No wonder that we were never satisfied with this saying!
When I grew older the meaning of that adage became a little clear, as, if you are not concentrated to take the game or sport seriously; you are going to end your career as a sportsperson. The suggestion was that if you are studying, study carefully and with full concentration without listening to the mind's idiosyncrasies. It is obvious that during childhood, children tend to play more then read or write. But seeing the success of big sportsperson of the world and the appreciation that they beget, it is hard to believe that sports will leave you nowhere. Yes, if want to take sports as a career; we must pay attentions to the guidelines and the rules, so that we may excel in that. There is no benefit in playing irregularly and without any distinction of your health and body you might hurt yourself, somehow!
