Her friends used to console her and motivate her, whenever she failed in her attempts. She had hesitations, self-doubts and denials in whatever task was done by her. Her RT instructor Mr. Prakash observed these negative qualities in her and advised her to have only positive attitude towards everything. He asked her to believe in herself and don’t ever think of losing, think to win. In the relay race, she put aside all her fears and self doubts about her ability. She just remembered her P.T. Sir’s words and ran fast to the finishing line. She won the race and everyone was excited about this attempt of Rucha. She made it because she overcame her self-doubts.

V. Paragraph Questions.

Question 1.
What happened when Rucha was learning to ride the bicycle?
Answer:
Vishnu was teaching Rucha, a ten year old girl to ride a bicycle. Rucha was not confident of riding it smoothly. She was frightened that she would fall, if Vishnu doesn’t hold the bicycle. Vishnu was teaching her to ride the bicycle for the past two weeks. Though he told Rucha that she was doing well, Rucha had self-doubts about her riding. She was insisting Vishnu to hold the bicycle tightly. After some time, she realized that Vishnu had stopped holding the bicycle. She called out to him and cried that she will fall. Before Vishnu could reach her, the bicycle wobbled, tilted to one side and Rucha was deposited into a bush.

Question 2.
What type of a person was Mr. Prakash, the P. T. Instructor and how did he manage to motivate and help the girls?
Answer:
The P. T. Instructor, Mr. Prakash was very enthusiastic about sports and drove the children hard – praising, scolding, correcting but mostly encouraging them. When he heard about the fast runner from Springfields school, he took a quick decision. He gave the girls more practice on the field. He taught exercises that would allow their legs to stretch more and stride faster. Then he trained them in the skill of passing the baton without losing speed. He motivated Rucha to have a positive attitude always. She should always think to win and said that he felt that she can do it. All these words of motivation and the training given to the girls, made their relay team to win at the inter school sports meet.

Question 3.
How did Rucha finally win the match?
Answer:
Finally, when the baton was in Rucha’s hand, she was dismayed to see that she was pitted against P. T. Usha of Team A. She quickly put aside all her thoughts and got ready to speed up. She heard the shouts of her schoolmates. She could see P. T. Usha trying to overtake her. She thought that she had to win. Prakash Sir’s words were ringing in her ears – ‘Think to Win’. The next moment, she was conscious of nothing, except the finishing line, which she had to reach. Totally absorbed, she ran and lost the track of time and distance. She was conscious of what happened there only when Aruna called out jo her and told her that they have won. Everyone applauded her. Even P.T. Usha came over to shake her hands. Rucha had overcome her hesitations and denials. She could win, whenever she chose to do so.

Think to Win Summary

This lesson is based on Positive Attitude. You have to believe in yourself and work towards achieving your goal. You should not think of losing but think to win. Only to win and then you can do it easily. Rucha seldom did things rashly. Even in running and playing, she would be conscious of her movements. Seema, her younger sister, on the other hand, was bold and prone to taking risks. Rucha had no confidence in her ability.

She always had some hesitations and denials. Even while learning to ride a bicycle, she feared that she may fall off, little knowing that she was riding well. Her fear and hesitation made her fall off the bicycle. She was also upset, when she lost the inter-house badminton match by .a couple of points. Her friends consoled her and asked her to practice more for the relay in the inter-school sports meet. Rucha feared that she would make everyone lose the race. As her friends compelled her to take up the race, she agreed and started practising under the new P.T. instructor, Mr. Prakash. He was very enthusiastic about sports and drove the children hard – praising, scolding, correcting but mostly encouraging them.

Mr. Prakash overheard the conversation of the children that Springfields school had a very fast runner and they call her P.T. Usha. So he took a quick decision to make the girls practice more on the field. He also motivated them saying that their aim should be to win the race, not just to make an attempt in the relay. He showed them some exercises that would allow their legs to stretch more and stride faster. He also trained them in the skill of passing the baton without losing their speed.

He then turned to Rucha and gave her advice to win the relay. He asked her not to slow down and to have self confidence. She should not have any self-doubts, and not to think of losing. She must have positive attitude and see herself winning. Think to win. Only to win. He said that he can feel that she can do it. Rucha was inspired by his words. At the sports meet, Prakash Sir gave the girls his final words of encouragement.

As the whistle blew, Shabnam the first runner, gave the team a marginal lead. Then to Neelam and Arana, who ran just managing to keep abreast of the runner of the Team A. Finally, the baton was in Rucha’s hand. She had noted with dismay that she was pitted against P.T. Usha of Team – A. When the baton was passed to her, she was more than ready, Prakash Sir’s words came to her mind, ‘Think to Win’. The next moment, Rucha was conscious of nothing except the tape at the finishing line which she had to reach. Totally absorbed, she ran. She lost track of time and distance. She ran on, not conscious of the fact that the race was over till Aruna called out to her that they have won. She was applauded by everyone, including the fast runner. Rucha had overcome her hesitations and denials. She could win, whenever she chose to succeed.
