Kàroly Takàcs : When Going Gets Tough, Tough Gets Going.

Hi everyone , This is my Second blog. Your love and support motivated me to write again. Keep loving and supporting.

 We often blame others for our wrongdoings instead of introspection and correcting ourselves. The major adversary between us and our goal is ‘ fear of failure ’ . We need to overcome this fear to achieve something in life. In the process of achieving , we will fail. But we shouldn't lose hope. It's easy for others to say ‘don't lose hope’ , only the person losing it knows the gravity of the situation. How can someone not lose hope after a series of failures. Any normal person will lose. But by being normal you can't make into the History books. Those who takes unorthodox and against the norms decision , their name will be written by golden colour in history books.

If you're determined to do something others said , ‘you can't do' then you need an inspiration as a thrust force to move you forward.

Today I have brought a story of a Person , who never gave up .He is the master of Art of not giving up. The person is none other than Kàroly Takàcs , a Hungarian athlete.

He was born in 21st January, 1910 in Budapest also died in the same city in 5th jan , 1976. During his lifetime , what he achieved despite of having adversaries is truly remarkable and admirable.

Like his all mates , He also joined Hungarian army. He had great skill of shooting. By the eve of Berlin Olympics he was already became a world class shooter and dreamt of being a participant in 1936 Summer Olympics. But he was denied participation because he was just a sergeant and only commissioned officers were allowed to participate. After the Berlin game , this law was withdrawn and finally he had a chance of participating in 1940 Tokyo Olympics. He started preparation for the Olympics.

Although he had been preparing for the Olympics , Destiny had other plans. In 1938 during army training , a faulty grenade exploded injuring his right hand . After injuring shooting hand , any other athlete would have been broken and shattered but Kàroly Takàcs is no normal human. He said that he can win Olympics gold with his left hand. He started practising shooting with his left hand and in 1939 , he won the Hungarian national shooting championship. He was determined to win gold in 1940 Tokyo Olympics. 

But misfortunes and adversaries are parts and parcel of kàroly's life. Both 1940 and 1944 Olympics were cancelled due to Second World war.

Despite of all these, he didn't loose hope.

He kept practising and sharpening his shooting skill. Finally in 1948 and 1952 he won Olympics gold with his left hand.

What a inspirational story of achieving one's goal and defying destiny. So much to learn from his life. I hope his life story will give you motivation to grind more.

[“Life is not about how hard of a hit you can give , it's about how many you can take and still keep moving forward.” - Kàroly Takàcs]

Thank you ♥️.
