Grow-up or Give-up, Choice is Yours

Mental preparation is more valuable than physical preparation. The person who has an equal capability to have mastery in both the preparations becomes invincible in his life. The real victory is not only handling the trophy, rather the real victory is the commitment not to give up at any situation. Ups and downs are the part and parcel of the life. You would not find anyone who has not confronted the ups and downs, victory and defeat, success and failure in his journey of life. Both the situations, favorable and unfavorable are temporary. The real champions are those, who never get perverted in both the situations. One boxer was almost invincible at his time. He challenged all the contemporary boxers to have bout with him; no one could have garnered the courage to accept his challenge. One person, who was an average boxer, accepted his challenge. He started his preparation for the big box day. No doubt, physically, the former boxer was stronger. The second boxer started preparing mentally that what could be the situation, till my last breath, I will not give up, I will get-up and grow with more confidence every time I would fall. With this attitude, he kept preparing rigorously for the fight.  The awaited box day came, the first boxer started dominating the second boxer, he was attacking him heavily, every time he falls, and ask himself, get-up or give-up, he always chose get-up and fight. It was startling to everyone, even at his dying condition; he was getting-up and taking his position to fight with the champion. The fight was going in the side of the champion boxer. The second boxer was not getting chance to counterattack to the first boxer. He had become defensive, and first was on incessant attacking mood. We know that many times more energy is required to attack than to defend. By continuous attack, the first boxer also reached at the verge of fatigue. And to the surprise to everyone, the second boxer`s one strong punch made the first boxer to lay down, and the second boxer won the bout.

Everything has the definite start and end. No matter how big your problem is, there is definite fatigue point for it. It is up to the individuals to make the choice between the give-up and grow-up. Making choice between give-up and grow-up is the habit. By sighting the critical situation, it looks easy to give-up, but this mentality make you an average person throughout your life, no matter how much skill and talent you are possessing. By confronting the odd situation, if you get frustrated, irritated, anger, worried etc. it means, you are at the verge to give-up, internally you do not want to get-up from the situation and grow. If you want to thrive in your life, commit yourself not to give-up. If you are ready to give-up, do not expect growth in your life. Choices are yours whether you want to grow-up or give-up.
