THE VALUE OF SPORTS
By Naitik Anand
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Life cannot be all work. Alongwith work, a person needs some entertainment also. There are many means of recreation. We can ae books. We can play cards. We can watch the T.V. But the defect in these kinds of entertainments is that they provide no physical exercise. me that reason, sports are the best kind of recreation. They provide recreation and at the same time keep us fit. Sports are very useful in many other ways. They teach us a sense of discipline and duty. A good sportsman always follows the rules of the game. That teaches him discipline. Games and sports build a man's character. A good player always plays with a spirit of sportsmanship. No team can win unless all the players play with a team spirit. They play not for their individual glory, but for the glory of the team. So, they learn to help and cooperate with one another. And that training stands in good stead in life. Above all, sports teach us to accept even our defeat gracefully. They teach us that we should not feel discouraged by our failure. On the other hand, we should learn from our mistakes and try to do better the next time. For all these reasons, sports have a great value.ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
