Hi people! I’m back again! Really sorry for not blogging earlier. I remembered that I said that I would blog on Tuesday or something but I fell asleep before I even started using the computer again. You see, on Tuesday, I ended at around 5.30pm and only came home at around 6pm and had not slept in between. I had to start doing my work immediately and there was almost no time for me to blog. I did some of my IH and went to lie down in my bed and before I knew, I fell fast asleep. Great, just great. And there went a few precious hours of my life. I don’t usually sleep at around 11pm but that day, I was really very tired and in need of a rest after cricket.
Last week’s cricket training was actually that organized and Ganesh and me just stayed back at school and went for training at 3.30pm We got the equipment out and started bowling and batting a few balls. Then, Courier came over and he corrected our techniques and all. We sweated and all in our uniforms. We weren’t even planning to go down on that day initially and we had not brought our PE attires along. However, not wearing the PE attire didn’t actually make much of a difference and did not affect our playing style or anything. Courier said that my bowling technique wasn’t good and that I had to perfect it before I could start and so, I went off. It was quite demoralizing at first but after a while, I realized that it was for my own good that Courier had asked me to learn the basics. The basics have to be really learnt thoroughly before you approach cricket. I think its the same for every other sport too, isn't it?
On Tuesday, we had the second training session and I felt that this was a little more ‘low-key’ in a way. We didn’t actually play that much and we ended earlier than usual due to our parents. For this training session, Ganesh, Nishanth and I came along. I really appreciated Nishanth coming along to play the sport with us rather than going off to play somewhere else. Siyang also came to throw a few balls and it was actually a more fun training session in a way as the seniors called along their friends to just bat our balls. Courier said that my technique was improving but that I could still do better. Guess who’s training more now? I’m really thankful for Courier’s and the other seniors’ advice. It really helps me to grow as a person and those little bits of criticism really help me to improve. Thank You.
Speaking about criticism, I have been actually thinking people having haters and all in the society. The word hater, is defined in the dictionary as someone who greatly dislikes a specified thing or object. He is also perceived to be a negative or critical person.
Haters are everywhere. In society, don’t you see them? Don't you see people criticizing certain people who produce music for instance. Most of these people have no specific reason to hate or despise this certain person or object but mainly do it just because the people around them are doing so. Only a handful have a reason, which may in some instances be, the certain person’s products being unreasonably popular. Even their reasons are not justified. These reasons mainly stem from jealousy. Is this good enough a reason to hate someone? In my opinion, its a big, fat NO. If someone’s better than you, shouldn’t you strive to be like him? You shouldn't despise him, should you?
However, some of these haters actually do more harm than good. They are like a double-edged sword(Yes, I know, the effects of LA). Sometimes, they demoralize that person or the person behind the object by displaying their hate, but most of the time, by making their hate known, they actually make the people more popular and help publicize the person. As people learn about this person, they will more often than not, decide for themselves, whether they would like to support him. Sometimes, the hate also makes them do better things and become a better person. However, in some instances, the person has to take this negative feedback, review it and decide for himself if he would like to change himself. Sometimes, changing yourself for other isn’t good.
So stop hating and start loving.
Bye!
