"A Tough Decision: Giving Up on My Sports Dream"

Hey friend, let me tell you about a time I had to give up on something I really loved. Back in high school, I was on the basketball team. I absolutely loved playing, practicing with my teammates, and the thrill of every game. But as time went on, things got tougher to manage.

You see, I was also doing really well in my academics and had signed up for a bunch of extracurricular activities. Suddenly, my plate was too full—there were too many late-night study sessions and long practice hours. I felt overwhelmed, exhausted, and struggled to keep up with everything.

I knew I had to make a choice. As much as I loved basketball, I decided to step away from the team so I could focus on my studies and other priorities. It was one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made. My heart ached when I watched my friends play without me, and there were moments I second-guessed myself.

But looking back now, I think it was the right decision. It allowed me to achieve some important goals, though it was tough to give up something that brought me so much joy. Life is full of difficult choices, but I think every decision helps us learn and grow.

So, have you ever had to let go of something good? I'd love to hear your story too!

He asked. Boy, did he ask! First he asked me for a chance, then he asked nearly all the people he came across if they wanted to buy a telephone system from him. And his asking paid off. As he likes to put it, “Even a blind hog finds an acorn every once in a while.” That simply means that if you ask enough, eventually someone will say ‘yes’.

He cared. He cared about me and his customers. He discovered that when he cared more about taking care of his customers than he cared about taking care of himself, it wasn’t long before he didn’t have to worry about taking care of himself.
Most of all, Cowboy started every day as a winner! He hit the front door expecting something good to happen. He believed that things were going to go his way regardless of what happened. He had no expectation of failure, only an expectation of success. And I’ve found that when you expect success and take action on that expectation, you almost always get success.
Cowboy has made millions of dollars. He has also lost it all, only to get it all back again. In his life as in mine, it has been that once you know and practice the principles of success, they will work for you again and again.
He can also be an inspiration to you. He is proof that it’s not environment or education or technical skills and ability that make you success. He proves that it takes more: it takes the principles we so often overlook or take for granted. These are the principles of that Ya Gotta’s for success.

Question:
(1) What was the cowboy’s motto?
(2) What did the cowboy learn after he lost millions of dollars?
(3) Why did the cowboy firmly believe that asking would pay off?
(4) When you expect success and take action on that expectation you almost always succeed. [Name the part of speech of the underlined words]
(5)
(a) He cared about me and his customers. [Rewrite using ‘not only ……………….but also’’]
