A Game is just a Game?

Table Tennis has now become one of the game which I love to play. When I started playing tt , it was one game which I hated the most.But now I m loving it.
Every evening when I play TT in my apartment there is one striking similarity with life that strikes me.
When you think you are on top of your game and there is noway you are going to lose that game you receive a jolt and in the end it so happens that you have to slog out to win that game or at times you may even lose.
It is same with life as well (atleast with me).When you realize that you are on top of a problem that's when something totally unexpected unfolds and you realize that you are actually in a spot of bother. But these moments actually make life/game interesting. You start to fight against the odds and when you emerge victorious you tend to savor every moment of it.

At times I take the game very seriously and make sure I win the game because I try to forget my disappointment with a consolation victory in a mediocre TT game :).So actually at times it is a good stress buster.
A game is just a game? Not really ...

Good one Balaji.....when i read this..a famous quote came into my mind..."Your opponent, in the end, is never really the player on the other side of the net or the team on the other side of the field. Your opponent is yourself, your negative internal voices, your level of determination."....it is the same with the life too..u reap your results as u sow the seeds of thought in ur mind...ur thoughts (either confident or doubtful, either negative or positive) makes the difference...
