The Life Of A Weight Lifter

The life of a weight lifter is always painful

He bears a burden double his own weight

Either to win laurels on a podium

Or to earn a few coins on a platform.

He may even carry bear the burden of his family

On his narrow shoulders.

The next time you see a weight lifter

With whatever his goal is

Do not demotivate him

When he falters with the weight.

Help him stand if you can

Else leave him to stand up by himself

To salvage his pride

And reach his destination weight intact.
