shining star of her sports academy
Priya was the shining star of her sports academy. A natural athlete she excelled in every sport she tried, but her true passion was gymnastics. Her coach Mr. Sharma was a former national champion who had trained many successful athletes. He saw great potential in Priya and dedicated himself to helping her reach her full potential.
As Priya’s skills grew so did her confidence. She began to experiment with new techniques and routines some of which she developed on her own. Although Mr. Sharma appreciated her creativity he often cautioned her about the risks involved in performing moves that had not been fully perfected. Priya however was determined to stand out. She believed that her talent was enough to carry her through any challenge.
During a major tournament Priya decided to perform a complex and risky routine that she had been practicing in secret. The crowd was mesmerized as she executed each move with precision and grace. However, near the end of her routine she attempted a particularly dangerous move that she hadn’t quite mastered. In a split second her foot slipped and she fell hard. The injury was severe, ending her career as a gymnast.
As Priya lay in the hospital bed Mr. Sharma visited her. He wasn’t angry but his eyes were filled with sadness. He reminded Priya that while talent and ambition are important they must be balanced with wisdom and patience. In her eagerness to outshine others Priya had ignored the guidance of someone who had been where she wanted to go.
This final episode drives home a critical point: In any field whether it’s sports arts or business those who have come before us have valuable lessons to teach. Ambition is essential but it should not come at the cost of respect and humility. Never outshine the master for the consequences can be more than just a lost opportunity they can be life altering.
