Wimbledon's prestige comes from its longevity.
Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, dating all the way back to 1877. When you win at the event, you are part of a history that extends past a century.
The tournament has also witnessed some of the greatest tennis players to ever play this game. That includes Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and the late Brit WilliamRenshaw, who have each captured seven Wimbledon titles. Renshaw, if your memory is a bit murky, won his first Wimbledon championship in 1881.
However this year, the tournament has unveiled quite some bombshells with the favourite stars being knocked out just at the start. In my opinion, life holds a lot in stock for us most of which we will never be able to pre-empt but the manner in which this happens often leave us gobsmacked. When you are worlds number one, you never expect to be beaten by the hundred and sixty fifth person. However, life is what it is. Thinking of the whole tournament, a few lessons drop in my heart which I have been sharing with a couple people. Everything, every situation, and every person gives me a different inspiration. And I say, I am really growing up not GROWN UP, watch my language there, anyways that is a topic for another day.
Lessons Learned;
- Success is a journey not a destination, you have to keep working at it and making improvements/ necessary updates constantly
- Dont under estimate the potential of anybody, a nobody today could be an Icon tomorrow, remember a day begins a story
- Losing is not the end, it just means, you have got some adjustments to do
- Life is no competition, however mediocrity is not acceptable. You must work at being the best you can be, its always better to try than experience the bad taste of regret.
