The Smalltime Fighter..

Try and Try .....

I saw this chap doing this thing again and again and again. He would do that run up, jump over those high stairs and fall flat and roll. He would get scratches on his bare back and then lifts up the skateboard and would go back up to run up. He did that for about 20 times and it was the same story repeating itself. I gave up on this guy and stopped shooting. Then he tries again and he does it. I found it very cool. He didnot give up. None of his friends tried to stop him from getting hurt again and again. I felt like giving him the piece of advise we have for all the people. The typical dialogue 'practice more and then try again'. If I were to do that I would not have seen the chap's confidence grow. He believed in himself and his friend who was standing didnt have the hope that he will suceed but he didnot discourage him. I find this simple thing which happened a very inspirational small story. The three characters involved, did the right thing. The skateboard chap believed in himself. The friend just let him do it and Me, did my job of keeping my mouth shut ! I think we indians need to learn this role play better.

The skateboard chap left with the content of defeating the tall stairs and the confidence that would for sure make him a stronger person. In this risk sport, I hope he does well ....
