in tennis, it ain't about flashy techniques, nor is it about herculean strength or unrivaled dexterity. the most brilliant strategist or the most talented player doesn't always emerge victorious, either. in fact, tennis is simple - just one stroke more, and you are the winner.

this principle applies to many aspects of life.

respect is a funny thing. imagine yourself up on stage giving a speech. before you is a sea of faces, only thing is they are not looking in your direction. instead, they are busy chattering away amongst themselves, entirely oblivious to your presence. how'd you feel? not good, duh. it's okay if you do not hold the slightest respect for the speaker, but at the very least respect yourself and adhere to the simplest of protocol. zip thy mouth, or zeus shalt smite thee.

do not unto others what you want not others do unto you.
