Andy Murray, a famous tennis player, who was expected to win the Australian Open Grand Slam, failed to be in the top 8 players in the quarter finals. "ang sakit nun at nakakahiya. kung ako yun, di na ako magpapakita ng ilang bwan". A friend of mine, Armand, was telling me.
"Why will you be shy?" I asked. "eh nakakahiya yun. Everyone was expecting him to win (referring to tennis legends) and yet he did not even make it to the top 8", he replied.
What's there to be ashamed of? You don't live to meet other's expectations, specially in sports. You, as a person, would know your limit and would stop if you no longer can continue.
Thesame thing goes at work. Even if people would expect you to finish tons and tons of stuff, your body can only do so much. The most important thing to remember (I guess) is that you take care of yourself. You can achieve more by ensuring that your body and mind don't go off the limit.
To everyone out there, it may be true that a quitter never wins but a winner, at some point, would not quit, but rest and try again.

Indeed. Our body can only do so much. It's a shame how you fail to meet the hype. What's worse is when you ride them and fail badly. Everyone can try to win but not all are born to be champions.
