The question of title arises in many of our Indians, who are very much hesitated in participating in many of their activities. Chances are very rare. But we miss all those chances. All those things are owing to hesitation, absense of planning and stage fear. This happens everywhere in world, but India is special.

I can explain it with a story that was happened in my school life. We had an intra school Cricket Match. Green and Red teams were at finals. I played for Green team. We went for field first and Red team batted first.They scored 90 runs in 25overs. Chasing a very easy target our team started batting. We lost our early wickets but middle order batsmen controlled the fall of wickets. But the Red team had a great come back and took the middle order batmens wicket. Myself too failed to shine on that match.

We had lost 9 wickets and we had just 2 runs as target. John was the last batsmen who drived his bat for a single. Unfortunately,the ball was under the control of the fielder. But John started running between wickets. The fielder dirctely hit the stumps,but John has reached the crease.However, the bowler and other team mates appealed with the Umpire, who is also a senior student of our school. He mistakenly said the batsman was out. But everyone knows that it was not out.

Red team won that match due to the poor decision of the umpire. Some of the guys were started scolding the Umpire. They critised him much. I advised my friends to forget it as passing clods. But they didn't. During the study hour, they have tortured him. Umpire(Being a student), suddenly went to chemistry laboratory. He started taking Potassium Cyniade, which is poison for human beings. Fortunately, the chemistry master has identified that he has taken some chemicals and gave the first aid. He was bought again to the existence.

As there was an enqiury conducted by the school management regarding his sucide attempt, Raja seemed to be commeneted much on the Umpire. All the staff members started scolding him and even beatings too. Raja went to the lake nearby and he tried for killing himself. But the civilians helped him to get his life back.

Taking all those incidents in account, nowadays, students are feared to appear in cricket tournaments at that school. Especially for Umpires. The management has advised a lot and gave many chances to the students to participate in cricket tournaments. But both the players and Umpires boycott every tournament. But now they are turing towards the play, however they miss the past 3years district matches.


These story says that we have enough number of chances to share our sport spirit, but we miss them by having fear on past games. Generally saying, We miss lots and lots of fame and awards owing to our non participatement. It may be owing to fear, hesitation, lack of confidence and TIME. A very good example is, Smt.Karnam Malleswari, weight lifter from India. She was the only medalist at 2000' Sydney Olympics. She was expected to get Gold in 2004'Athens Olympics. But she had a severe sprain during her practise session. These made her to miss both the participation and medal at Athens.

The Conclusion is teachers must develope the confidence for student. Nehru says "Children are the foundation of the future nation". If they have been trearted much with confidence, ability and behaviour, every one will participate under their interested area. They must be practised to lose their stage fear and hesitations. They must be prepared to be bold anywhere for any reasons.
