Go For Gold, Not Silver
Aim for the Best
From a young age, I was taught to never settle for second best. With only one life to live, we should strive to make the most of it. This article delves into that mindset.
The Snooker Dream
At twelve, I received a five-foot snooker table for my birthday?"a gift I'd long desired. It became my favorite pastime, sparking dreams of becoming the next Steve Davis, even though I knew the odds were slim.
Entering the Big League
Six months later, I joined a local snooker hall with three friends. Playing on full-sized tables was daunting at first; every shot seemed challenging. These tables, measuring twelve by six feet, were quite an upgrade from my home setup.
Embracing Improvement
We played weekly and discovered the club offered free coaching for under-sixteens on Saturday mornings. The coach, Glen, was a charismatic and skilled player. We eagerly attended, enjoying monthly tournaments, coaching, and even complimentary drinks and toast.
Our first goal was to achieve a twenty break?"something none of us had reached. Determined, I diligently applied Glen’s teachings and was thrilled to be the first to hit that milestone. The applause and my beaming smile made me feel on top of the world.
A Lesson in Ambition
Glen, hearing the commotion, came over. I expected praise, but he challenged me instead: "If you can score twenty, you can score thirty." His words were a wake-up call to stay focused and ambitious.
That day taught me a valuable lesson about never resting on my laurels. I eventually went on to achieve breaks of over one hundred.
Conclusion
The experience instilled in me the importance of continually striving for excellence. We should always aim for gold, not silver. In life, as in snooker, there's always another goal to pursue.
