My Dad's Words

My dad helped me with some words that I thought were very inspiring. And these words were "The best player isn't the one with the best score, but the one that has the most fun." These words may not have much sense to other people but to me it has a massive effect on the way I play sports that I know how to play, or sports that I am a complete newbie at.

Nowadays, if I play golf or any game that I am good at, and I have a bad score, I don’t get upset, but I just think about the brighter side and if I actually had fun or not. Sometimes I might have a very horrid score, but in the end I still keep my head high and smile, even as if I hadn't had a bad score. I do this because I knew I had fun.

For example, we did surfing for school P.E. And I don’t know how to surf. Alright I fell off a lot, and I wasn't the best beginner out there, but I still had bucket loads lots of fun in the water.

Another thing I realised was that if you have more fun than anger, you could become more successful, because you may have the advantage of having more patience than others. And because of this I have a small advantage over other competitors in the sports I like to play.
