*Winning is a habit and it is contagious! That is why when one kid wins an event in school, many more also win in subsequent inter-school events. The loosing is also a collective habit and that is why we normally see one or two individual victories, but in general we remain a medal-starved society… This is also the reason why some societies where winning is promoted, people are so much action oriented and want to achieve everything in life… Because, this is contagious. And this is why, even Abhinav’s victory should be welcomed as a spirit booster to the whole India.Every Indian should take time & think what Abhinav Bindra first said after winning gold medal:-
“I sincerely hope this win will change the face of Olympic sport in India. In India, Olympic sport is not really a priority, so I hope Olympic sports in general can get more attention.”
