I’ve always been amazed to see para-athletes doing superhuman things, challenging their destinies and teaching us something new. They are truly SUPERHUMANS, showing the power of resilience, determination, and never giving up. Some incredible moments were spotted in this year’s Paralympics 2024 too.

(Sheetal Devi, Indian Paralympic athlete, who won bronze medal in Paris Paralympics 2024)

Watching them compete live at the international level was inspiring. It doesn’t matter if they win medals or not; the sheer will to participate despite their challenges is enough to add them to the list of legends. They are awesome, indeed.”

What lessons we can learn:

How You Play the Cards Matters More Than the Hand You’re Dealt

You can’t decide what kind of deck you will get in life. Odds may be against you. Inspite of getting discouraged and lose enthusiasm, we have to make the most at the moment. Don’t complain. You just need to keep perserverance, determination and hard work without losing the enthusiasm. That’s the turnkey. It doesn’t matter how long it takes until you don’t quit. Take the challenge and establish your mark.

Para-ahtletes are great examples how you can still play good even odds aren against you. France defeated Argentina in a blind football final to win the gold medal.
