So here I am sitting watching the Australian Open men's quarterfinal match between Swiss compatriots, friends, and the 2008 Olympic gold medal winners of Men's Doubles, Roger Federer and Stanislas Wawrinka. Now Wawrinka has been doing very very well and advanced to this quarterfinal match on a high spirits; however going up against Federer he was never supposed to make it past this match. Granted that he did lose, the commentators kept saying how Wawrinka had basically given up and no matter what even if you are up against the world's greatest you should never give up hope and fight til the very last point.
Given this it made me think on how easily it is to give up when up against the best. Yet to me going up against the best one should try to see how well you can do against them. You can only get better when competing against the best and isn't that what we humans want? To progress and further one's ability?
There's no point though in giving up. You have nothing to lose. Yes you are "destined" to lose, but that should not hinder your attempts to strive to do your best.
Don't be afraid to compete.
Give it your best no matter what.
And
