Indeed, injury inflicted physically on ourselves aren’t exactly quite demanded and wanted. Injury depicts the greyscaled picture of a low resolution which further enhances the unwanted pain. Such a negative point of view, you might say, but this is not untrue, and neither is it true. Injury brings forth pain, and pain brings lessons and ideas t ochange ourselves for the better. The bad leads on to good? This may not be the first option people might choose but it is an effective way to learn something, isn’t it? This is where the term “spoilt children” comes from though. Recently, I had an injury. An injury as an effect from sports. My arm muscles tore. It was very, very painful. Excrutiating pain I felt instantly. Muscle tear, which means no more rigorous exercises for many years, even for my whole life. They are aready damaged. What did I do? It was all my fault of failing to warm up before a straight shot of badminton games for 3 hours. Hence, the muscles suffer. It hurts each time I pick up my raquet and the only way of overcoming it, is by my own willpower. My mind forces me to pick up the damn raquet and grip it firmly in my hand. With all my strength and stamina I stil have within myself, I play as beautifully as before. The mind controls everything. Willpower, is of the most importance. What happens is, after the games, the pain comes again, attempting to scale down the mind power once again. Then, its time to stop. The result? Uncontrolled trembling of the arm, right down to the palm. The feeling goes deep into the bone, causing it to have a feel of rheumatism, and pain. After a repeat of two consecutive days, I knew it was time to stop. My arms just had to rest. They could go on no further. After a week, which is now, the present moment, my arm feels normal again. The lesson I learnt? Never play when your body is cold. Its similar in other aspects of life! A broken hand teaches the perfect hand to carry a bucket. Sounds impossible? The fact is, people who have went through tough and unliked experiences will teach those who are to face them. The ways to overcome them and the good from it. So? Experience, injury, and pain brings forth healing and tranquility in safety. Without failing, how does someone succeed? One can only succeed after he atempts failure. As Thomas Edison once said “I’ve tried 99 different ways which cannot do the job, and there is the one way which I tried in the end, lighted the bulb. I have not failed, I just found 99 incorrect ways to light a bulb.” Optimistic, isn’t he? Well, let us try thinking of being in his shoes. When asked by reporters from all around the world how many times he had tried in succeeding, he could have accidentally said the actual figure of attempts, which failed. Could he have felt embarassed? Ashamed? When pressed on the details on his failures, could it be that Thomas Edison was a man of ego? To hide it, what rational thing would he do? Undoubtedly, he is wise. He created the small lamp bulb which did the greatest job on Earth! So, he thought of something wise to say to cover his statement and voila! But am I suggesting that his statement is wrong? In actual fact, we never know whether he really said it, but it does sound very lifting and comforting, doesn’t it? We should take the quote as a guide in our lives.

Be totally enlightened by the darkest subject in physical humanity, injuries.

Arrivederci, ciao!
