Moulding the Career You Desire "Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life." These words coined by Confucius, an influential Chinese philosopher are wonderful sentiments. However, it is quite a challenge knowing whether or not you love a job until you actually get into it. Athletics in My Blood Growing up, I was involved in all kinds of sports. At some point, I even considered sports as a life-long career. I remember when I was only 10 wagering my sister that I would play in the National Football League when I became of age. Well, that’s the beauty of a young soul, the only limit of your dreams is your imagination. Mine was becoming a professional athlete. Unsurprisingly, I attended university on an athletics …show more content…

They waited for me as I struggled. However, sometime later, I got the hold of the terrain and I glided down to the bottom of the run. Looking back, my mates were only halfway down the run.

A lot of programs have been developed so far, from cycling, climbing, water and snow skiing to kayaking, scuba diving and sailing. With Adaptive Adventures, I have seen with my very eyes the life-changing impact that outdoor sport has on people who thought sports impossible for them. I must agree, it took me a while before I came to the realisation that I could turn my love for sports into a career, and a rewarding one for that matter. However, if I went back in time, I still would not change a thing about the journey. It is through the journey that I met many inspiring people, got to really appreciate sports and felt motivated to set up Adaptive Adventures. I must say, I feel accomplished. There’s still time for my life to take a whole new direction but I do not see it taking a different course, I am where I am supposed to be!

  • The Secret Life Of Tiger Woods By Wright Thompson

    In the article, “The Secret Life of Tiger Woods” by Wright Thompson, the author explains the life of champion golfer Tiger Woods after his father’s death. The article “Are parents ruining youth sports? Fewer kids play amid pressure,” by Michael S. Rosenwald illustrates how fewer kids are doing youth sports due to the constant pressure of feeling not good enough. Both of these articles explain how growing up with sports have affected the lives of many, however, I believe that the quest to become an “elite athlete” is not worth the many sacrifices it requires people to make.
