It would be easy to feel a little snake bitten after what happened to you last year. How do you stay so upbeat? JAMES BLAKE: You know, it probably started right when I actually hurt my neck, when I broke my neck. We went into my coach and I were in the hospital. We just started talking. He said, you know, There's really two ways we can look at this: We can laugh about it or we can cry about it. Let's laugh about it. Let's see the silver lining in everything and try to find a positive. You know, that was the first time I'd really gone through a serious injury on the tour. I had to try to find a silver lining. Mine was pretty easy. If I had hit my head differently, I could have been paralyzed. So I'm lucky, I was only out for two months. As I told my mom and some others, the best thing that happened to me last year was breaking my neck. I got to find a positive. I got to spend the last six weeks of my father's life with him. I'll never regret that. I mean, I'm so lucky I got that time with him. You know, you can always find a positive. I was home for so long. I got to realize how much my friends cared about me when I'm obviously down a little bit, they're there to pick me up. They were there I'm sure they had better things to do than come over my house and cheer up a guy that's, you know, face looks mangled, probably isn't in the best mood. But they came over to hang out with me, play cards with me, watch some TV. Makes me appreciate the friends I've had since I grew up. You know, you find a silver lining, and I've definitely done that. Now I realize that I'm one of the luckiest guys in the world. I mean, how many people can say they do what they love for a living, they get paid well, they travel the world, have my coach with me who is one of my best friends. I live a charmed life right now. I've obviously had some tragedy, some unfortunate situations, but to look at the big picture, I'm a lucky person. That's how I stay positive. I have my friends to keep me in check if I start complaining. Like I said, the worst thing that happened to me is I lost a tennis match. I guarantee there's a lot of people, even in this room, that have had a lot worse occurrences happen today, yesterday, whatever. I got to stay positive because if I was too negative, you know, you turn into one of those bitter veterans on tour that's, you know, expecting the world to be given to them, you know, is complaining just because they lost a few matches. You know, it happens. I tried my best. To ask for anything more I feel like is greedy. I tried my best. I did everything I could to prepare as well as I could to be here, and my best wasn't good enough today. You know, why should I go and be down and say, "I should have won. I'm so angry I didn't win." I tried my best, I didn't win. I couldn't have tried any harder. I don't know why I need to be that negative. I'm not going to be angry at not having as much God given ability or anything, that's just greedy. I've been given so much. I'm so fortunate to have the ability I do have to make money and have a career playing a sport, a game that most people play for enjoyment and for fitness. I think it's easy to stay positive with so many blessings that I have in my life. -- 〒作者：ExIan 來自：61-224-74-185.dynamic.hinet.net ◎二進位的世界【140.115.50.50‧binary.csie.ncu.edu.tw】 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.224.77.110 ※ 編輯: Dayard 來自: 61.224.77.110 (03/19 13:47)
