"And the winner is..... Casy!!!"
That one sentence made some happy, many disappointed.
Well, this story dates to 14th May, 2014. It was the day of the finals of the 25th Annual Seekin' Orators competition- a national level competition that chose the best speaker amongst the huge number of teen-speakers in the country. It wasn't easy to go up there and speak. Forget speaking on that prestigious stage, even getting an opportunity to speak in the competition was an ordeal. And luckily, I got that opportunity.
Well, I don't really want to stress on the details of how I managed to reach the finals and how I spoke and stuff like that. All I noticed during those 4 months in the four rounds of the competition was on the day of the finals, and that too after the results were announced. Perhaps that was what both troubled and entertained me at the same time.
Well, a girl named Casy won the title. I didn't win; and honestly, I don't regret even a part of it. I lost. And I was proud of it. But around me, people were crying. They were cursing the judges. Perhaps such stuff form a part of these talent hunts. The winners rejoiced. The losers regretted the very fact that they were alive. As I said earlier, I was proud of my loss. My surrounding troubled me. My pride in losing entertained me. But at that moment, all that I could think was- "Why?"
Why do we have to regret the negative side of stuff? What I saw was in a competition. What I realised was that that happens in every single phase of life- whether you fall ill, or fail a test. Whether you're forced to eat something you hate, or are made to sit next to a person who's yucky in your sense- all that goes in your mind would be- "What did I do to have to suffer this?"
My question here is, "Why this Kolaveri Di?" Why does every so-called bad thing kill you deep inside? Why? Why is there so much of negativity?
Instead, why don't we look at the positive side of negative things? Let's say you lost a competition. You lost, so what? You earned some fame, even if like a tiny bit! Isn't that good? This may be something every adult tells you, but I don't regret it if you find my statement irritating as well. After all, I managed to say what I wanted to say, so I'm happy! See, it's that simple to see the other side of negativity!!
So hereafter, try to ignore negative side of things. Try to make negative positive. After all, it's just a vertical line away!! :D
