Oh yes . What a gory head start ? . Nah it's all for a purpose .

Sports is life . Sports is the glory . A glory that will never be compromised for anything else in the world . However , even though many see the brighter side of sports , there is always the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all sportsmen . This is an undeniable truth . In fact serious injuries can put an end to the career of many sportsmen .


So what exactly drives an individual to play all kinds of sports despite the high chances of getting badly injured ? PASSION !
If you are god damn passionate about winning , you will not give a shit to injuries . Even if someone throw down the gauntlet , nothing in this world can ( even your injuries ) stop you from accepting it . Yes . I believe in passion . People like Steven Gerrard ( my Stevie G ) and Frank Lampard show that kind of passion when they are playing soccer . Soccer is their raison d' etre .

In my case , passion drove me to the road of recovery . I did initially thought that the knee injury I got last july would put a fullstop to my sports life . In fact I was always depressed and suffered from low self esteem .
I got my Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injured in july . I am certainly not 100% fit nor recovered yet .

To those who don't understand what an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury is .
-- The ligament is injured through twisting the knee or through an impact to the side of the knee ( often the outside ) .
It was the most painful period in my life . I was often in excruciating pain that I needed pain killers to help me . I seriously thought that I will never recover . That's when I heard that someone from my school also went through similar knee injury before . Soon , I got to know Saha . He told me that it is possible to recover . He taught me how to physio .

Every day after school , Fareez , Adib , Amirul and I would go to the school gym to work out . When I grew a little confident , I decided to go for a 2.4 km run . I succeeded . I didn't stop at any one point . Even when there was sharp pain in my knee , I resumed running . Fareez thought that I was over stressing my knee . But I seriously wanted to boost my morale . I was so overjoyed when I finished the run ( without stopping ) .
Now , I am playing all kinds of sports . Even though I am afraid of causing injury to my knee , I am still driven to play sports . All because of PASSION .

The sad truth in the whole issue is , my knee is not fully recovered . I know that it is weak . I can feel it moving out of place whenever I over-stretch it . That's when I got to know this :- An old ligament injury can often cause problems by reoccurring. After resting the injury might have settled down only for it to return when you go back to sport .

So I am still depending on the RICE treatment .(Rest Ice Compression Elevation ) . I just pray that I will not get another injury . Even if I do ,


Hold on if you feel like letting go
Hold on it gets better than you know

Oh yes people . I want to share with you something that I find quite interesting .
Before that , I would start it off by asking a question . How would U define guts ? . Many will come up with some brainstorming or mind mapping concepts to answer my question . Even many will give me a whole list of definition for guts .

Once this question was asked in the GCE A levels examination . At that time ( quite long ago ) , there was not a rule that you have to write a specific number of words . In fact there was no requirement for the number of words . My friend told me that someone got A1 for his GP with writing only 3 words . I was so shocked ! As in , I really wondered how in the hell did those 3 words he wrote actually articulated the idea of guts !

Q : How would you define guts ?

He wrote this in his paper -------> " THIS IS GUTS " .

Haha . I really admire his guts ! He was really brave enough to write like that in a national examination . He would certainly have slogged day and night to prepare a good essay for his A levels and eventually impressed the examiners with his own GUTS .

Wow ! The message that I am trying to bring to my readers is that , we should not conform . We should get out of the box and set our own ideas . We should not restrict ourselves to conformity . Conformity underestimates and rids an individual of his creativity . It does strip him of his own individualism . Great inventors , scientist and famous people did not conform . They tried to break away from social norms . Thus they stood out and became the subject of the whole world .

" Minds are like parachute . They work greatest when they are open " .

Open up your mind . If you do , you'll see amazing things happening to yourself . Be a thinker . Never let your self respect be at the mercy of others . For you are not a ball for people to kick you about but rather a genius in making .
" There's a genius in all of us " .

Before I leave ,

That saluage nature seemed not to haue ,
Nor after greedie spoyle of blood to craue :
Two fairer beasts might not elsewhere be found ,
Although the compast world were sought around .
