Life is a Batsman's Innings of a Cricket Match

Every life is a creation of The Almighty, respect it. Every life has a meaning to it, find it. Every life has a destination, construct the path to achieve it.

Everyone of us must have watched "Guru", the movie on Mr. Dhirubhai Ambani. He had a destination to achieve in his mind and he built his road to achieve it. I don't want to repeat the hardships that he faced to achieve his dreams, but, I intend to make realize the fact that the success to Mr. Dhiru Bhai Ambani or Mahatma Gandhi or Dr. Azim Premji or any great personality came with a lot of endurance, a lot of patience, struggle and hardship. Very similar to the way a batsman builds his innings in a cricket match.

May it be the little master, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar or Mr. Kool, M.S. Dhoni an experienced campaigner slowly and steadily makes a platform or seasons himself to the conditions of the match, the wicket, the opposition players and to the situation of the match. Then he launches himself to achieve the target. To play against requirement of the situation, the player needs to be exceptional or he losses his wicket. Batsmen to play their shots and score runs they need to adapt to the situation, find gaps and place the ball, improvise their shots, time and select their shots plus capitalize on the bad deliveries. A single wrong shot can cost them their wicket. Another vital part,co-ordination with the player on the other side. Good co-ordination will help converting the 1s into 2s and 2s into 3s, plus boost our confidence when we see the scoreboard of our team ticking all time. So, its important to gain the confidence, co-ordination and support of the other player too. If it is a senior player, then learn from him, help him lead the game and it becomes our duty to follow his footsteps plus learn from him; if its a player of similar age or experience then walk hand-in-hand and get the target; if its a junior then its our duty to make him feel comfortable, guide him throughout and lead the game.

Similar is our life, to climb up the ladder of success, building patience and endurance is the key. We need to adapt to the situation and act accordingly. First, we need to find our destiny; then find the road to our destiny. Same tactics to win over different situations don't work any more so we need to improvise them or innovate our tactics accordingly, not every talent we can use in all situation so we need to select the best way to deal a situation. Patience is the key to deal with every situation and the gained experience from every faced situation is an added endurance to us. Capitalizing on all available opportunities and making the best out of it helps to increase our talent. Very similar to cricket, our parents, seniors in office and home as well, friends and juniors play a vital role in our life. It is important to learn from our seniors and take their views as they have experienced situations. Friends add to our versatility and juniors add to our support or aid us reaching our goal. Our peers, i.e. seniors, colleagues, friends and juniors synergies our energetic effect and make our efforts appear "2+2=5". This boosts our confidence and motivate our-self to keep walking up the ladder of growth plus help make the world a better place to reside.

With every sense of achievement, the creation of The Almighty shall earn respect; every life shall find its meaning with destination achieved with the light of happiness and delight spread all over.
