Two good lessons from cricket captains in last one week i learned.

Hello Friends,

In the last week I learned two good lessons from the captains which can be applied to personal and professional life too. The first one was Pakistan playing against Australia. pakistan should have easily won the game as per cricket pundits as they needed to score just around 150 runs with time on their side. The team got packed for less than that and lost the game. as usual the cermony and captains being called for their chats. The commentator asked a question. The answer from pakistan caption ' ALL QUESTIONS DONT HAVE ANSWERS'. He was good to play down any further questions which could affect the moral of the team. The commentator in now way is going to come and help the team in any way. It is the captain who has to go to the drawing board to set things right. More over the commentator will push him to such levels where he will be forced to say bowling was not good , then who has not bowled well, why have u not brought your bowler in this over etc etc which does no good to team. I loved this answer because he is serious of a good performance to come back.

The second one was the srilanka versus bangladesh match. Bangladesh lost the match. The captain was called. He was asked how does he feel after losing third match in a row. Me and my team gave 100% but we lost as the other team's 100% was more than ours. yes his team gave 100%. Not even a single noball or wide, no run outs while batting. Pressed hard for singles to two's when batting. If i compare it as a race between maruti and merc on the mumbai pune high way. Maruti being bangladesh, he has given 100% he has pressed accelarator total and did not waste time to change gears etc. If we see the mileage consumed maruti would beat merc, if you look at average time the car was at throttle speed maruti would beat merc.

So the lesson is friends even if we loose either in personal or professional life as long as we are giving 100% we are on right track. Winning and losing is part of life. Understanding that it is you who have to deliver it is better not to waste time in answering things again which leads to new questions and finally they will say you have contradicted your first answer etc. It is better we go to drawing boards and come back strong.

May lord vishnu bless us all with happiness.
