Solution 2
A Good Kabaddi Player
Any player requires various characteristics to emerge as a good player. The game of Kabaddi, too, requires physical and mental fitness. While good health, muscular strength, and strategic skills are essential to emerge a winner, other traits are equally important. Determination, dedication, devotion, consistency in performance, and willingness to give one’s best are paramount.
We can acquire these skills if we resolve to do our best and give our hundred percent to the game. The right skills, ample practice, and the will to excel will help us reach our goal. Watching Kabaddi matches on television, seeking help from experts, finding one’s weak areas, and working on them are ways to develop attributes to become a good Kabaddi player.
'Hard work is the key to success' in Kabaddi or any other game. Let Us Remember: "The heights which great men, reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flight, they, while their companions slept, were toiling upwards in the night."

King Krishnadeva Raya would perform heavy exercises every morning. He regularly applied oil on his body and thereafter worked out till all the oil came out with the sweat. This was followed by a long ride on his horse. Once the king started leading a sedentary lifestyle, and he stopped exercising. He no longer went horse-riding either. The king overate and as a result grew fat and heavy. The king‟s temperament also underwent a sea change. Noticing this, the royal physicians cautioned the king against the ill effects of overeating and explained to him the risks posed by obesity. They advised the king to regulate his diet, exercise, and take care of his health. The repeated advice he got from the physicians to eat less made him so angry that one day he announced a reward for anyone who could find him an easy cure. But there was one condition: those who failed would have their heads off. None dared to advise the king in this regard. The situation became precarious and as usual Tenali Raman was approached by the courtiers for a remedy. Tenali heard the problem and assured the courtiers of a viable solution. The next day, an astrologer predicted that the king had only a month left to live. When the king came to know of this, he was furious. The astrologer was ordered by the king to be imprisoned for a month so that his prediction could be put to test and so the hapless forecaster was sent to prison. |
