Ever since Kumar was a child, he had a fear of someone under his bed at night. So he went to a Psychiatrist and told him “I’ve got problems. Every time I go to bed I think there’s somebody under it. I’m scared. I think I’m going crazy.”
“Just put yourself in my hands for one year”, said the psychiatrist.
“Come, talk to me three times a week and we should be able to get rid of those fears.” said the psychiatrist.
“How much do you charge?” asked Kumar.
“$200 per visit,” replied the psychiatrist.
‘I’ll think of it and if needed I will come back to you,’ Kumar said.
Six months later Kumar met the Psychiatrist on the street. ‘Why didn’t you come to see me about those fears you were having?’ Psychiatrist asked.
‘Well, $200 a visit three times a week for a year is an awful lot of money! Couple of my friends cured me over a dinner chat-out. I was so happy to have saved all that money that I went and bought myself a new SUV”.
‘Is that so!’ with a bit of an attitude Psychiatrist said, ‘and how, may I ask, did the friends cure you?’
They told me to “Sell the bed and sleep on a Mattress on the floor.” explained Kumar.
Friends idea sometime may sound crazy but will have amazing result too.

One friend asked the other, “Why do you pay so much money for your son to do all his sports”?
Well, I have a confession to make; I do not pay my son to do sports. Personally, it does not matter so long as he learns the lessons sports teaches!
So, if I am not paying for sports what am I paying for?
– My son realizes that there are moments in life that becomes so tired he wants to quit but does not.
– My son feels that there is a time when he comes home from school and is “too tired” to go to his practice but he goes anyway.
– My son to learn responsibility, ownership, discipline, focus, and dedication.
– My son is to learn to take care of his body, mind, belongings, and equipment.
– My son to learn to work with others and to be a good teammate, gracious in defeat, and humble in success.
– My son learns to deal with disappointment when he does not get that placing or title he’d hoped for, but still, he goes back week after week giving it his best shot.
– My son to learn to make and accomplish goals.
– My son to respect, not only himself but also other athletes, officials, and coaches.
– My son learns that it takes hours and hours, years and years of hard work and practice to create a champion and that success does not happen overnight nor its luck and magic.
– My son to be proud of small achievements, and work towards long-term goals.
– My son for this opportunity that he has and will have to make life-long friendships, create lifelong memories, to be as proud of his achievements as I am.
– My son can be out on the field or in the gym instead of in front of a screen.
– My son withstand, overcome, and endure pain, loss, insults, failure, and risk, yet come back with a smile.
“I could go on but, to be short, I don’t pay for sports; I pay for the opportunities that sports provide” he added.
At the end of the day, what your child carries in the voyage of life is a development in attributes that will serve them well throughout their lives and give them the opportunity to bless themselves and the lives of others.
By-and-Large we shall think of it as a great investment for every child’s future!
