Paulo Coelho says "Miracles only happen if you believe in miracles” so did Sachin Tendulkar and he himself has become a miracle of international Cricket. Many know about his play, but only knowing about his attitude will tell us what he really is…The will power Sachin has epitomized all these days has not only brought laurels to his personal self but also has taken our country to greater heights. ..
There is always a lot more to learn from the most successful persons along with their strategic modus operandi in their careers. When asked about his secret mantra Sachin, with his natural and hearty smile says “Cricket is my first love .I followed my passion and my dream (playing for India) came true”. Our little master gives equal importance to his profession and his family. “You must also learn to value the contribution of your family to your success and respect your better half”, says he emphasizing the role his quality time with his family members and close friends has played in his successful career. Sachin always tries to live with the present so that he can be away from pressure .In his view if one’s mind is preoccupied with past failures, or is anticipating future ones, then the pressure(on mind) builds.
The 38 year old batting veteran ,when someone asked about his critics said “when stones are thrown at you , you will turn them into milestones” .This reflection of Sachin reflects his positive “never give up policy” that brought him the happy tears when the world cup 2011 is won by Indian cricket team.
The winning team captain M.S.Dhoni sharing his lessons from Sachin’s life style said “Every time he turns up for a practice session or a game he is 100% there, he never turns up for the sake of it. His attitude has never changed for the last 21 years”
Let us congratulate him on his ton tons milestone and make him our way of life rather than confining him to the sports’ circle.
** “It is lonely at the top” people say. If according to cricket lovers, I am on top of the world, I would say, “I may be on the top, but I am certainly not lonely. I have many great people around me to share my success with.” -Sachin Tendulkar **
