When going gets Tough...

It just makes me laugh or just wonder who really found out the phrase "when going gets tough, the tough gets going"

The Going is made tough in order to make oneself realize that your decisions made are not worth it and better think of an easy solution that really makes you surpass the situation.. To a certain extent this really synchronizes. A deeper dig into the topic, just highlights upon the fairy tales ever written. It was a fantasy at a younger age, with characters so very well designed that people playing the heroics just have an unique power, to save anything or the fairies created just helping the right people at the right time.


The kids at that point would be seated at the edge of their seats, till the heroic finish is done and get themselves exulted and might even go to the extent of imitating those characters. The Fantasy world.


The moral sometimes would refer to the phrase at the top.Children really try to imitate and a couple of failures just make them realize to come back to their senses. They realize "without effort, you can never dream of great things".


I always had this friend of mine who was my best pal, during my college days. He always proclaimed himself as the tough guy. Since from the young age, whenever he was cornered in any situation, he made his way out. Impressive as it sounds, we guys would just admire and no doubt we would be with him always either to find out how he did it or for cheap publicity as he was known by many people. No doubt he was a great wonder.


One night it so happened I had his notes for reference and next day was the exam. I would generally be awake and my 'tough' friend always boasted he studied for just 2 hours for any exam. At the very same night around 12 he called me up and told he will collect the notes from me and when he met me I saw tension written on his face. Upon inquiring i gathered that he reads the whole night before exams and gifted with a good memory he does extremely well. Is it really character 'tough'.


The point guys what I really wanted to put-forth is that without effort no situations can be handled. Sure one or two people might be lucky. But to sustain or to reach the pinnacle effort is always required. Showing oneself tough or being tough is just an height of fantasy. Never a reality.
