Where Amazing Happens

No obsession for gadgets, cars, guns, martial arts, fighter jets, warfare, cigarettes or barbells. Besides close combat, the only shadow of genuine manhood that I can boast of is sports, and more specifically, basketball.

If you can watch the below videos (especially the hook shot!) and not feel a shiver up your spine, how can you call yourself a man?

A man with huge pride cannot stand competition, because it means risking a loss to his reputation. He aims to eliminate his rival quickly, and if possible, with the least amount of effort, so as to win cheers from the surrounding spectators.

A man who enjoys competition fears no risk to his reputation. He aims to learn from his rival, no matter how small, and puts in his very best. There is no better form of respect for your opponent by challenging him at the same level and playing your heart out.





Can the same be said about love?






The healthiest competition occurs when average people win by putting above average effort. -Colin Powell

The rules of fair play do not apply in love and war. -John Lyly
