@Rajini Raj such a WOW Rafan wrote this & I had to share her beautiful very very true words :- A teacher is not just a person who teaches us in school or colleges, but someone who teaches us about anything in our lives. And not just teach, but also motivate and inspire us, to even beat our own potential. Anybody who does that is, in my opinion, a teacher. On this Teachers’ Day, I pay my respect to the person who not only taught me big or little things about life but also inspired me and motivated me everyday for the past 9 years. Rafael Nadal, the man who taught me never to give up, who motivated me to get up every time I fell and inspired me to bounce back even stronger than before. He showed me it’s possible to be at the top one moment and the very next moment suffer a great fall. But while you do hurt yourself and affect people around you, you have to get up and start climbing back. For seven months, he was nowhere to be seen; critics started to question his comeback. Will he able to dominate the tennis world as he used to? And seven months later, in his widely talked about comeback, he’s on this crazy 53-3 match record, reaching 11 finals of the 12 he has played, winning 9 out of them. But what does it mean? For some, it just may be a source of amazement, and for others, a collection of impressive stats. But for me, it’s more than that; it’s an example of how sheer hard work and self belief can conquer everything. Nadal taught me that nothing is permanent. He taught me that no matter what, you can always come out of your dark phase of life and be at the top again! And Nadal has not only taught me things like hard work, dedication, self belief or faith but also little things which are equally important in life. He has taught me not to take your success to your head, and to stay grounded and stay humble. There can and will be a time when you’ll lose, so always remember you could be in that situation any time. Nadal has taught me that the sportsman spirit matters in every sphere of life; to congratulate the person when he wins simply because he deserves it as he played better than you did. He has taught me that you are allowed to feel bad when you lose but you are not allowed to lose your temper even in the worst situations; he has taught me to make sure you come back even stronger and to keep working hard because you can always improve. There’s always something more to achieve.
