INVICTUS!!!!!!

Being a sports freak , i have loved sports movies.. in fact more than just loved them. At the good ones or even the bad ones for that matter after they finish i have adrenaline rushing through me like never before.. I have tears in my eyes for i don't know what. Its an amazing feeling of spirit within that i cannot explain. so it again reminds me that nothing raises my spirits and resolve in life more than sports. And if we have a good game on there's nothing like it. today i saw the movie " INVICTUS ". Core of this movies was how the President attempts to change the lives and the nation itself with the Rugby World-Cup. this was inspired by The story is based on the John Carlin book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and the Game That Changed a Nation. In one Word INSPIRING.. below is the poem INVICTUS originally written by William Ernest Henley.. So it goes..

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul
