Unspoken Struggle

Give Up

The coach's program never ends, I just keep complaining.  Tired!

My feet are lazy to step.  I am bored!  I am bored!  and I have to face

this is all, but my heart is always unwilling.  I am confused!  How to

wake up the sleeping giant inside me?  So that I can enjoy this process

with a smile.

Actually I want to stop Athletic training, but it can't be helped, if

not because my best friend Lyra, maybe I have given up.

"I'm tired, I want to give up!"  I said to Lyra, when the two of us were

enjoy lunch in the school canteen.

Lyra then glared at me, "You can't be like that Guf!"

"It's up to me, because I'm tired, just look at my friends there,

they are already too good, and I can hardly beat them. "

"You heard, 'The runner who runs to beat the other runner, will

left behind because he was busy peering at his opponents' pace "You understand right?"

I nodded, "Then I'll beat myself up, and

make them my motivation.

"But you have to remember, the effort to beat others is not at all

  , motivation, should not be born out of jealousy, envy, or revenge!  "

  "You are Lyra's best friend, I'm sorry if I complain a lot, dan

  from now on i won't complain anymore!  "

  Lyra put me in tight and I put her in her hug too.  Our tears

  fell to each other, tears of joy began to come back.

  Suddenly I wanted to scream in my heart.  Why?  Because today there is

  the announcement, that next week's Athletics games will begin, to be exact

  on Sundays at the Pajajaran Stadium, Bandung.  I'm so glad, because I will

  prove to everyone that I can!  Can be a CHAMPION!

  I gave this information to Lyra, in hopes that she would give me

  motivation.

  At night I called him by phone, but he heard his voice

  very heavy.

  "Yes, what's wrong Guf?"  he asked in a deep tone.

  "There is good news Ra, my coach said earlier, next week there is a match

  Athletics in Bandung, and I will follow it.  "

  "Good.  Now you hear, that confidence is when we don't

  wasted time and started working on it sincerely, and

  when you have to be a robot, make yourself a sophisticated machine.  Wet Kit

  with your sweat, you are the greatest Guf!  "

  I smiled, "You are also the greatest Ra!"

  Sometimes I think, that some people always find it easy

  all that are fought for, because what may manifest itself is not as heavy as the one that is

  in fact.  From now on I will cherish every drop of sweat I get

  spit it out while running, and I have to believe that every drop will

  produce happiness later.
