ସୁଦୀପ
The big bell always rings very well. There was a temple near my home and it had many bells but one big bell hung down the top surrounded by the small ones. I, with my friends, used to go there every evening to play and to spend some time running around the temple. It was fun! But there was one task we always performed before returning home. The task was to set a starting line and run directly into the temple and ring the big bell. Whoever got succeeded ringing it first, was considered as a winner even if he lost in other tasks. So, the last task was always crucial and fun for everyone. I always tried my best to run fast but one of my best friends who was a bit taller than me often succeeded to reach and ring it first. But I used to give him a tight competition and sometimes, I won feeling proud like I had won a marathon in the Olympic. But as I said, I often lost to my taller friend and whenever he own, soon after that, he used to give me a hug. So, it actually didn't matter even if I lost to him. He always told me one thing and that still rings in my mind that whenever you lose, you give a chance to the winner to wins. Well, it is true that people will remember the winner, but it is also true that the winner will remember you as the rival who is definitely tough to be overtaken. So, in every step of our life, we learn something; we just have to keep our eyes open because if we blink, we will miss something. Losing in a race will never be the benchmark in our life to define our potential. It is just a boost to our potential to grow higher.So, we all should try to accept thing whatever it might be because we never know what difference it will bring in our life in order to deal with challenges that are waiting ahead! So, losing too deserves a smile and to that a brightest one:)
