international understanding

International understanding: When think of our national integration, there are so many nations in this world and if people of each nation think likewise. Most nationa have a deep rooted sense of passion for their home-sports and teams. When two countries share a similar passion for a common thing, one of which being a particular sport, they come together to laugh and cry and celebrate. They will understand each other properly. We cannot choose our neighbours. Who ever is sent or fixed by the Suprimo of the world we have to accept him as he is and live with him and make the best out of our situation. This is principle of peaceful co-existence. When National and International integrations are achieved properly by understanding each other on individual as well as national level, integration between the two is automatically achieved. This can be reinforced and backed up by a passion for sports, where people of all races, religions, cultres and genders come together for a common purpose. It basically means people coming together, and understanding each others differences and cultures, and mixing those cultures all together so that we might all have an understanding of each other, and merge together in a peaceful way.

The Olympics

Hope Excellence Respect Harmony Friendship

The Olympic Games are a major international event featuring summer and winter sports, in which thousands of athletes participate in a variety of competitions. The Games are currently held every two years in even-numbered years, with Summer and Winter Olympic Games alternating, although they occur every four years within their respective seasonal games. Originally, the ancient Olympic Games were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 5th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894. The IOC has since become the governing body of the Olympic Movement, whose structure and actions are defined by the Olympic Charter.

Men and women are at the centre of the Olympic Movement, which encourages links and mutual understanding between people. Friendship refers to building a peaceful and better world through solidarity, team spirit, joy and optimism in sport. The Olympic Games inspire people to overcome political, economic, gender, racial or religious differences and forge friendships in spite of those differences. For athletes, this means forming life-long bonds with their team-mates, as well as their opponents which in turn leads leads towards international harmony and understanding.

respect represents a principle which should inspire all those who take part in Olympic programmes. Respect for oneself and one’s body, respect for one another, for the rules as well as for the environment. It refers to the fair-play attitude that athletes should have, and to their commitment to avoid doping which in turn leads leads towards international harmony and understanding.
