Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
This is the most interesting thing that I have noticed in recent times.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
This superb poetry "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley ,one of my all time favourite has just reminded that its not the strength but the intentions that matter.
Last night I saw the oscar nominated movie the Invictus. A remarkable movie for me which just kept me thinking that How to get people to be better than what they think they can be? How do we inspire ourselves to greatness when nothing else will do?
My daily living is inspired from that poem. It gets me motivated, boosts my mind, and helps me to stand still whatever obstacle i face or go through...
It was then ,that I cracked that sport after which the nation goes crazy is the real intention to make a country unconquerable.
Nelson Mandela , after he came as the leader of the new Republic of South Africa was under many dilemma on how will the country react after his freedom. During his jail period he observed that Rugby the national game of SA was only played by the AFRICANAS(the whites who lived in SA) . But he made those whites develop interest of it into Black and just break the barriers and years of apartheid by a game ...
It was he who inspired the captain to play for the 43 million of SA ...It just ignited the spark to achieve and attain to stretch your limits beyond your own imagination...
A total inspiration to feel and this INVICTUS feeling has just ignited in me too...
people do watch the movie if you felt my words felt short to explain you as a picture is worth a thousand words...
Dis is it for now...
Bloggin off....Directly Dilse...Rishi Doshi
