Sports
In sports, there are two things that are necessary: sportsmanship and the ability to concentrate on what you are doing. Sportsmanship is an attitude of the heart, that in sports there is both victory and loss ― and the famous dictum that we play not to win but for the sake of the game. This generosity, or the acceptance, the humility to accept, that failure is an ever-present possibility, and therefore we play only for the game, not to be victorious. And victory goes to the one who can concentrate. Both these abilities are developed by meditation.
