Ping Pong Perseverence

This video has to be the craziest most intense round of table tennis ever. But it's not what I wanted to talk about. This post is about commitment.

We may look at this video and say things like "oh that man is amazing" or applaud his intense perseverence. But some of us may call him silly and ask why he just doesn't relax a little bit. He may lose one point but at least he won't risk hurting himself.

And that's exactly what I want to talk about. He is committed. Yes, sure, to us it's just a ping pong game. But to him it doesn't matter what we think. He is 100% there. And ultimately this is what gives him the upper hand in the game. And commitment is a life attribute; it shouldn't just be applied to ping pong. You should be committed in your school work, your job, your relationship, your life. When you reach that level, it will show.

But that doesn't mean you should take life so seriously that you don't have fun. I love ping pong but I won't break my neck returning a fast serve hehe.
