LANCE ARMSTRONG
-Writer of Every Second Counts
I was getting bored at home as usual as my college was closed. So, I did think ::::What to do as I am always found of playing games on pc for a longer period(min. time 3 to 4 hrs) due to which at the end of the day I got so much washed out that I am not able to do any other work. So, I decided not more games and no surfing or chatting. Then suddenly an idea stroke my mind that why didn’t I go for reading a book. I thought that reading is good and that will keep me in practice of reading. But this time I decided that if I will read a book I will not go for suspense, thriller but a high level book that makes me feel someway good. And eventually a friend of mine delivered a book EVERY SECOND COUNTS by Lance Armstrong. I then look out for other details inside the book but stunned and stopped by the cover page of the book. On the cover page was face of a men (Lance Armstrong).I thought it would be a great book by just looking its cover and going for any details. It is in my habit I judge the book by its cover as I always thought that what inside doesn’t matter a lot. But from outside it should look awesome so that in case anybody sees that get impressed by it. That is my way of choosing a book not to read but just to show off. Friends and every other body should admit that it is a classic book and get impressed highly.
That day fortunately my inverter blow of in day timings….That was fortunate because else wise I would return book to my Friend and was unable to read it. But as I told I was fortunate this day and not watching T.V. or playing games. I decided to read it.
I took the book from where it was kept and started reading it (not from inside) the cover page as I told it was amazing for me. Then turned back of book. I just take a look and found out something written “1999 tour de France ……cancer” I got carried away by the world `cancer` and second time took seriously .I read the back and found out that Lance Armstrong win the tour de France after returning form cancer just eighteen months before. I was amazed, anxiety and lured too to know how he did that. On reading from inside I found out that Lance Armstrong was not only a really good biker but also a great man who did everything that he could do. To serve his nation, winning the tour, to his wife, his kids Luke and twins girl, to cure his cancer everything he did and the best. According to him winning could not be possible without the team work whether in the race or getting out of cancer. He was right in saying that we win all the time is absolutely incorrect but that losing a game makes us ready for winning another. Whether he was on-bike or off-bike he was the best.
Lance Armstrong was extra-ordinary man who survived cancer and unacceptably (or should I say magically) win the tour de France and other races. He had a fear that his cancer can come back. He decided as what he should do that showed he is still alive. He was certain that in winning the tour will simply prove that he is still alive. As a human being he always cares about his friends, family and everyone he knows. Wherever he goes people use to ask him `how does u get rid of testicular cancer??’
He always prefers the best and right things for them. Being a cancer patient he always have a soft corner for the cancer patients.
What do I think that worst thing is that now-a-days people prefer suicide then their life? It takes place so often and on the other side people who are diseased (ex. cancer patients), they think can still enjoy their life and sometimes they even gets cured even a disease
Like cancer. Lance Armstrong is the founder of LAF(LANCE ARMSTRONG FOUNDATION) where cancer treatments takes place. I think that people should be never hopeless and live their life even in worst conditions as nothing is worst then suicide. I also want to add that some people even ruin their life by thinking they are diseased and doing nothing. Even though they get cured but they are caught up by their own misbelieves. They always think they are diseased and get mentally ills and so physically too.
On ending the book, I felt lonely as from starting and midway I was aggravated to read the whole book…..now it’s over... that’s was all. I think that whether will I ever meet Lance and able to see him. Now, for me he is a real hero in all-ways. The book I read was really inspiring to me.
