B. EXPLAIN THE FOLLOWING QUOTES IN YOUR OWN WORDS. (15pts.)

1. HOW TO LOSE OR FAIL WITH DIGNITY.

- Losing is always a part of life. We can never avoid failure; even how good we are at
everything. But we should always know how to accept it wholehearted with dignity. In
any sports like basketball, we tend to lose, even we did our very best to practice and do
good in the game. Just like in life, even we tend to try our best to be good at anything,
there is always a chance that we will face defeat. The only important thing here is we are
open to accept it and be proud of other’s success. These will make us become more open-
minded instead of being arrogant.

2. LIFE ISN’T ALWAYS FAIR.

- Being fair meaning following the rules or standard. But we all know that rules are really
subjective, meaning each person or group has a set of rules which is “fair” for them, and
sometimes not for you. Just like in playing basketball, there are rules which sometimes
not accordance to your satisfaction, but you need to follow the rules of it. It may seem
unfair to you, but when we deal with rules, we must follow it. After all, although life may
seem so unfair for you or for others, your own happiness and satisfaction really matters.
Being happy with your own benefit, without minding how “unfair” the world is can lead
you to see the right thing about you, and will make you see life in an equitable way.

3. BE PREPARED BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY.

- Our life is full of unnecessary problems and challenges that sometimes tested our
capacities. As in playing basketball, we need to become healthy in terms of our physical
and mental aspect. We can be exposed in tough and strong opponents and longer
matches, but with our persistence and strength of our body and mind, we can surpass all
of it. Also, in life, we need to ready ourselves in different battles that we fight as we go
along. Being physically and mentally prepared, we can be able to deal with these
hindrances mightily without any thinking of giving up. With this, we can become firmer
and bolder to face all of it and any other problems yet to come.
