Difficult to be a Hero
Just wondering how difficult it is to be a hero. Maybe it takes a few extra-ordinary efforts to be called one, but it does take a life time of extra-ordinary deeds to maintain that hero status for a life time. Everything goes out fine once and everybody hails you at that point of time and hence the amount of expectation rises to its so called god level thereby making one’s life all the more difficult to live.
Was amazed by the way FedEx and Nadal played in the final of Wimbledon 2006.Must say that I have got a special respect for both of them who are excelling at the age of 24 and 20 respectively. There is a huge lesson to be learnt from these people who are dedicated and focused to the core. FedEx has equaled Sampras’ record of 4 consecutive Wimbledon crown and next year's win would equal him with JBorg’s record and from then on its goanna be FedEx’s world though he has to be fit enough to surpass Sampras’ 14 titles. But I believe that nadal has got the talent and tenacity to stop FedEx from achieving the insuperable.
This world cup has seen a lot of heroes not living up to their expectations. Ronaldineo, Ronaldo, van nisterlooy, Carlos, Henry, beckam are just a handful of them. All the players who excel at their club level do not perform as much at the international level and hence this raises a lot of questions about the team commitment and their egos. Zidane spoiled everything in the end by head-butting matterazi during the extra time. If he had stayed, chances are that we would have seen a different result.
Hero's life is a difficult one. To live with the dedication and focus for a lifetime is a magic that few people go on and execute well, but others get swayed and get veered off track thereby yielding humbly to the distractions that's stumbled upon them. These days, a hero is not judged by his performance but rather by the looks that deceive, the color that is fair, by the style that is fake and by the simulation that is unoriginal. Just wondering when these things are goanna change.
