The Secret of Success

Delhi on August 16, 1984, they received a chilly
welcome, as they had failed to win a single medal,
neither gold, silver nor bronze.
What was the reason for this failure? According to a
report published in the
Times of India
(August
17, 1984), “Lack of scientific and systematic training
was the main reason for India’s poor showing. We
did our best but that, unfortunately, was not good
enough. The entrants began their training just three
months beforehand.”
What has been said about the Olympic Games applies
to all walks of life.
In this world of competition it is necessary to enter
the field fully prepared. If you enter it inadequately
prepared, little else but failure will await you.
Your preparation should conform to two
requirements: it should be organized and it should be
consistent with the standards of the times. If it is not
so, you will fail to make your mark and you will be
unable to keep in step with modern developments.
