A healthy body being free from disease and morbidity is bound to be independent and self-reliant. Games and sports bring in our physical development and thus pave way for better thoughts and virtues like self-help, courage and honesty.

On the field, they try to beat one another, but after the competition is over, they shake hands as if they were and they are the warmest friends.
