Lets talk straight.....I am a bengali and I admire Saurav Ganguly a.k.a "Dada"!
Stop! before you start looking at my name and deduce that as being a bengali myself, I admire 'Dada"...No, I do not admire 'Dada" because he is bengali, I admire 'Dada" because he has prooved to be such a good example for the word "Tenacity" - (Noun) - meaning persistent determination.
Off course there are other examples and every one has his/her favourites.
Tenacity, the character so which is so much missing in our generation.
Today, when I (true to many others) fail in a admission test to a good college, I say that I do not have time to sit down again and take the test again next time.
Today, when I ( true to many others) fail to get a good salary upgrade , I wish to quit the company instead of staying back in it and fighting out for a better salary upgrade.
Today, when we hear about riots in other parts of the state, we easily start blaming the other religion instead of giving a determined effort in trying to mend the relation between the two.
Today, when we face failures in life we start blaming life saying that 'life isn't fair to me', instead of giving a determined fight back...
Just give this a thought, how would a person feel when he is ousted from a national team which he was leading, in front of the whole world media and when the whole country looked at him as a failure......he could have easily said that I give up and hang his shoes for a life time...
But he did not, he fought back...with a persistent determination -i.e. tenacity....
So if he can, can't we? after all we are all humans.....
