In my last post, I narrated why it is to better to start late -better late to reach or to achieve or get what we want.
I would like to bring another important point on this subject.
Let us take swimming competition – competition starts from Group VIII – age group of 2nd standard and goes upto Group I – age group of 10th, 11th and 12th standard.
Performance in Group I is important as the medals achieved in Group competition only will be considered for admission in colleges and universities under sports quota.
I have seen many participants giving their best from Group VIII to Group III and slowly performance coming down at Group I level.
This has given me lesson in life as well – performance is not important – performance at the right time is important.
This has also made me understand – that life gives many opportunities – it is better to be patient instead of being haste and setting up a target relating to one’s age and feel all is lost when one cannot get at the targeted age.
Yes is it is better to be late.
