For
the first time I've come across a father, who doesn't want his son to
come first in class!!!!
When I probed him further, he went on to explain that when he gets a first rank or first prize or stands first in anything, he thinks himself to be better than others, that he knows everything........thus, slowly loses his real friends, stops being his real self and starts dancing like a snake to the tunes of the charmer (top ranker)!!! He thinks participation in a race is the most important thing!!
Mesmerized by this school of thought! May be this is true......people should learn to handle success first, then taste it? Or should it be the other way round? Children are not matured enough to differentiate these little things.......
Coming first is not a matter of choice, but just an outcome of participation.
