LANCE

“Cycling hurts but quitting hurts even more”

What would you do when nothing is going your way not even your damn life…whine like dog…… blaming everyone and everything their involvement being subject of least importance. You know somebody is weakening your knees so that you would never stand back again. they want you dead .how would you react if somebody said that death was lying rite next you I guess it would leave you terrified absolutely clueless what’s going to happen next…….. Those are the situations where champions standout .to be a champion you need not do anything which is out of the world. You just need to believe that if u give your best you will never fail. LANCE is a champion and he believed in it.

For me Lance Armstrong’s story is one of the most incredible one because he has had this awful battle with death and won each one of them. Those battles have left there scars on him ….but for the cancer community those are not the scars but the symbol of human endurance and those scars scream out loud that miracles do happen and you just need to believe that they can happen.

AWFUL FATHER AWESOME MOTHER

In my view unpleasant childhood is essential ingredient to be a champion. Champion’s usually don’t have a comfortable childhood Lance’s was not even close to being comfortable .His father made sure that the essential ingredient was given in plenty. Kudos to his mother she decides to put an end for the misery Lance was suffering …..She took a divorce .She made sure that Lance got everything he wanted without letting him of the hook .She stood beside him in thick and thin of his life…..Lance respects her like I dream to respect mine…what would Lance be without her….I won’t dare imagine it .I am just happy that he got the mother he deserved and she got the son she deserved.

FROM CHAMPION TO NOBODY

Its not like other stories where everything is built from the scratch .In those the lead character has never smelt success so in my view it calls for brute force application of their passion and will. its enough if the character believes in himself and backs his self-confidence with hard work I know its easier said than done and it calls for tremendous application. I am no way offending those stories in fact I am always grateful for those who have helped everyone to realize “Life Is Beautiful” but Lance’s comeback is quite different .He was already a winner when the world around him collapsed. He had already tasted success……success of the some of the highest caliber in cycling .On his way to the top of the cycling peak fate delt him a blow……blow which would make him a man he his today. Its amazing how Lance did a phoenix from there because he had already set standards for himself (by winning races).When you are doing phoenix and if can’t make that cut you are deemed as failure…..failure is something when your 100% is not just good enough. The fear of failure was looming large ….fear can drain courage out of you that’s what it did for Lance. He of all people thought that he could not do a phoenix .Strange but true he had given up the hope of achieving what he has done today.

LANCE’S BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT?

“Surviving cancer was more important than winning tour de France”-Lance

Time and time again Lance has said that he is more proud to be a cancer survivor than a tour de France winner. Every time he climbs those monstrous peaks a new hope sprouts in cancer community .A hope which makes millions believe that they can fight the disease…a hope which keeps millions alive…..a hope which fuels millions more …..Hope is an incredible thing probably the best thing. It can push someone from death bed to beautiful life and for millions Lance is the source of hope he winning the TDF winds up millions of cancer patient makes them believe that they can survive…. shows them that the disease is beatable.

THE ACCUSATIONS

“People will throw stones at you it depends whether you build a wall or a bridge”

Let alone believing in miracle people refused to believe in the fact that he had won the TDF .The miracle of someone from death bed winning the TDF was indigestible for many those people called his first victory a fluke. Let me tell this fluke is when you win something without any preparation .TDF cannot be won without preparation .Tell me why on earth would he dope and jeopardize his health when he knows he is lucky to be alive .Why do people make such crazy accusations? Only because a cancer survivor winning TDF was unimaginable or they simply refuse to believe in miracles .When such awful accusation are made you tend to loose your concentration …you start disrespecting everything but Lance the champion proved otherwise .He held his concentration tight he answered those accusations by winning his second TDF .People who called his first victory fluke just seemed to go numb but those crazy accusations continued….I am delighted to point out that he has never tested positive .Every accusation they made spurred him on. Its there to see that it took some time for the world to believe that a cancer survivor had won the TDF .people who dint want to believe in miracle challenged him to win the third TDF…they said it would be impossible as it included opponents such as Ulrich in better shape. Lance blew away the field by winning the TDF in record time then followed the 4^th, 5th, 6th, and 7^th.

GIVING BACK

People tend to forget where they came from .They do all the hard work scale new heights and they forget the equipments which helped them to get there .But Lance is not a person who forgets his past .He constantly remembers and reminds that he is a cancer survivor .He has done tremendous things to the cancer community. Lance Armstrong Foundation(LAF) educates millions about the cancer, helps them to lead a better and healthier life .His name alone does what a chemo fails to do that’s to give hope…….

LANCE IS GOD
