Laws of life is basketball! A law of life is something that we choose to live by that guides us. The first law of life we need to choose to live by is bravery.
Bravery is having or displaying a sense of courage as well as being a daring individual. It is also a person who lacks the qualities of being cowardly or timid. Throughout history most great leaders showed that they were very brave individuals through their actions and as well as the way they carried themselves. They did not allow what other people or forces said dictate their actions. The character that shows bravery in the story, made it entering the NBA after the hard training. Even though the training might be hard and sweaty, he never gives up for his dream. He fights through himself in order to success. He welcomed every single challenge, because he knows that “trouble is the power that keeps you moving”.
Bravery on itself is not enough. When trouble comes, if you only have bravery but did not show any action, that is not success. The character kept moving when the adversary came to him. He never give up, because he knows that basketball is his life and he will like it for his whole life. At this time, if he gives up, he will never make himself into NBA, and will regret for life. Challenges are necessary in order to grow as individuals; they are necessary to improve our skills and polish up our talents; to help us to become as successful individual in whatever endeavor we are involved in. And above all, challenges help us to discover who were really are and what we can do in difficult situation.
One you take the first step and decide to face a challenge, you have to state the problem and do it as clearly and exactly as you can. Your challenge might not like the ones the leading character had in this story, but what is similar is that you have to take time to understand properly the problem you are facing. It is important to continually challenge yourself in order to boost your power up. Find your favor and interest, put yourself in a challenging situation and try your best to overcome it. Stay calm and focused. Challenges help you to get out of the comfort zone. What does not kill you makes you grow stronger.
People will always hurl stones of taunts in their path of life. It totally depends on ourselves, what we make of it a wall of difficulties or a bridge over difficulties. We must be brave and accept it mentally because you never regret on your own decision. We cannot turn back time, but we can face our challenges and never let them defeat us to the path towards our success. Your inner self will be victorious and the difficulties will be defeated. Be brave, and live for your life. Do your favorite things, and never say give up?
