Life As It Stands

Reading through this book of quotations by famous atheletes, I chanced upon this quote by Muhammed Ali, the world-famous boxer, who has won in Olympics before:


I'm the best. I just haven't played yet.


Probably that sums up my feelings right now. Sometimes, when faced with a new venture's uncertainty, one tends to worry endlessly. You worry about how you might fail at the task spectacularly & how people will laugh at you. It is like shooting yourself in the foot & then saying, "AIYAH, I've been injured".

It is certainly interesting. Muhammed Ali was asked about golf, a game that he had not played & what did he reply back to the question? With the above answer, which I think is a classic.
