One fine evening, I was playing table tennis with a couple of my friends. Since I had played and won a couple of matches last weekend, I thought now I could do some hand movements and achieve some spinning effect.
As soon as I tried spinning, I started to lose game after game.
One of my friend who was watching us came forward and suggested I play my simple game.
But I was super confident in my game, and I didn't stop.
Finally, he shouted at me, "Just keep the ball on the table!"
Suddenly I had a quick thought to myself, and I took his shouting very seriously.
And surprisingly I was winning the game. I won all the games after that.
That night, till I went to sleep, that sentence was just not leaving my mind.
'Keep the ball on the table.'
I was thinking, "How these simple things in life can have such deep meaning."
Of course, unknowingly he told me that however life might treat you if it is not happening as you've expected, we should just have to go with the flow.
No need to find unnecessary clashes with life, no need to search for an unrequired adventure!
We just have to keep our ball on the table!
But of course, when the right opportunity comes your way, we just have to smash and get that crucial point.
