Final 2 gold medal to cool down
Malaysia grabed their final 2 gold medal from much anticipated badminton through men doubles and women doubles.
With this Malaysia ended the campaign with 6 gold 7 silver and 6 bronze. Tnhis is definetely lower than 4 years ago of 12 gold medals (6 less).
We even finished behind Singapore, Nigeria, Jamaica, Kenya and South Africa. Probably this is one of the poor performance since 1994 Games.
India emerged as best Asian country with 15 gold medals. They even had historic badminton men singles gold medal through P.Kashyap. Even Canada also scored their 1st gold medal in badminton through Michelle Li (She never contested outside of American continent and today she could beat players from Asia and Europe).
As the Asian Games is just 50 days away, the Sports council need to really plan something. Else, Rio and Gold Coast trip will be just a holiday trip in coming year.

Mandela Best words/quotes
It has been half a year since the passing of Nelson
Mandela, the revolutionary leader who was the driving force for the
turnaround of South Africa’s fate, and the abolishment of apartheid.
Having been thrown into jail for 27-years during his journey, Mandela endured gruelling physical labour duties that cost him his eyesight, and other physical and mental torments that one could only try and imagine.
Yet, Mandela emerged from all those barriers, still fighting for his cause, and successfully abolishing apartheid and racial segregations in his country. Later, he was made President of his homeland for five years, and moved on to philanthropy and helping victims of HIV/AIDS in his later years.
With all those life experiences under his belt, it is easy to see why many would consider Mandela one of the wisest men who have ever lived.
And so today, in conjunction with Nelson Mandela Day, we highlight five of his famous leadership quotes, and how it can be applied at your workplace.
“It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.”
A leader who takes the backseat somehow exudes the vibe of wisdom. Why is that so?
It’s simple, really. A person who leads from behind displays their lack of need for recognition, and their pure focus toward their team goals.
They inspire and empower each member of their team to pursue their shared goal, to push their potential, and yet, are still shouldering the responsibility should anything go wrong.
To the team, they are their leader and protector.
Having said that, taking this backseat may be a highly effective way to lead, but it is not for everyone. Some situations require leaders to play a more active role than others.Make sure you assess your situation to determine the right kind of leadership style needed for your team.
“There are times when a leader must move out ahead of the flock, go off in a new direction, confident that he is leading his people the right way.”
This means, even backseat leaders would have to come out to actively point their team to a direction.
When this happens, there is no time for your confidence to waiver, or to indulge in any self-doubting. Your team is looking to you for direction, and even as you falter, stay positive and fake your confidence till you make it. And you will eventually make it - just keep persisting on your intuition, and go with the flow.
“I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
Everybody has one common fear – the fear of failure (also, cockroaches). Many of us refuse to live up to our potentials, as we are afraid of failing, and afraid of what others would think of us should we fail.
And so, we live our lives convincing ourselves that success is not meant for us, and that we are not that great to begin with.
Failing does not make you a failure. Refusing to try, makes you one.
It is those who have overcome this fear of failure that would thrive in life. However you define your success, stepping out of your comfort zone might seem scary at first, but whether you make it or break it, remember that the most important point is that you tried.
That’s more than many others(especially those who judge you) can say for themselves.
“People respond in accordance to how you relate to them. If you approach them on the basis of violence, that's how they'll react. But if you say, 'We want peace, we want stability,' we can then do a lot of things that will contribute towards the progress of our society.”
When you approach a problem with the intention of illustrating your point of view, you will be getting the same reaction from your counterpart, thus leading to an argument instead of a solution.
As Mandela puts it, stating your objectives up front gives the other party something to work towards. So, instead of a he-said-she-said situation, you’ve now gotten yourselves a common objective to productively work towards, all defensiveness abandoned.
"There are so many men and women who hold no distinctive positions but whose contribution towards the development of society has been enormous."
You don’t have to be an official leader to be able to lead.
Mandela himself was President of South Africa for only five years. Yet his influence and leadership lasted way longer than that, proving that leadership is not defined by titles.
Many people play meaningful inspiring roles in others’ lives, and yet don’t receive recognition and praise as they are not official leaders.
So what, if the person quietly encouraging a greener lifestyle in the office is only just a fresh graduate? So what, if the person who keeps you safe by accompanying you to your car makes less money than you?
As Mandela puts it, they may not hold any position, but that doesn’t make their contributions any less deserving of our respect.

7 Gold target looks unachievable
The shooter fired blank and only had 1 bronze. Cycling to made disastrous outing by winning 1 bronze. Lawn Bowl ended their campaign with 1 silver and 1 bronze. This sports promised gold medal but did not achieved it.
Sports like Athletics, Swimming, Gymnastic (Artistic), Rugby, Hockey and Boxing finished empty handed.
In diving, very much anticipated gold was dashed when final minute of switch made the disaster. Usual combination of Pandelela and mun yee was twisted, ended up pandalela paring with rookie Dabitah and scored surprise bronze.
Hopes on squash double also went on smoke when Nicol-wee wern pair trashed in quarterfinals.
With 3 more days to go, our hopes are on badminton (at least 2 gold) and Diving (1more gold).
Currently we have 4 gold medals, 6 silver and 5 bronze. But it's not something which we can be proud of, as Singapore is above us. Minor countries like Grenada, Kribati and Papua New Genue has scored their mainden gold medals.
our best hauld was in Dehli with 12 golds. It's definetley cant be achieved now. Not even 10 golds.
OCM need to work out plan for asian games, else we will become a mid tier country in sports.

Men Hockey became school boys
We may have made a good start by beating Canada 2-0, but thereafter the disaster started when we lost to England by 8-1 (first half was 1-1), then loosing to tiny Trinidad and Tobago by 4-2 and trashing by New Zealand by 6-1.
Our men hockey team suppose to go for top 6 but now, looks like we will be ending up as last bench as we did during world cup. With this team, you can just forget about achieving gold medal in Asian Games.
The newspapers states, Dharmaraj should be sacked as he is the main reason. That could be just one reason as the motivation of the team is down and he may not be fit to lead a senior team.
But the next reason is, whether we made the right selection of team without the intervention of royal families and politicians.
