Don worry about result: Give Ur Best

Friend's I was lucky to watch sachin scoring his 99^th century in a recent one day international in nagpur.....as thoughts of that superb innings were still in my mind...happened to read an excellent article written by Harsha Bhogle...I thought it's worth reading as it's so thought provoking and inspirational.

Remember when you failed an examination. How many people recall that, your class, friends, relatives? You failed to make it to the IITs or IIMs. Who remembers. How many times have you had the feeling of being the best in your class, school , university, state….., you failed to get a visa stamped this quarter…, you missed a promotion this year…, how did it feel when you dad told you in your early twenties that you are good for nothing…..and now your boss tell you the same...

You keep introspecting and go into a shell when people most of whom don’t matter a dime in your life criticize you, back bite you, make fun of you. You are left sad and shattered and you cry when your own kin scoffs at you. You say I am feeling low today. It takes a lot from us to come out of these everyday situations and move on. A lot??? really?

Now here’s a man standing on the third man boundary in the last over of a world cup match. The bowler just has to bowl sensibly to win this game. What the man at the boundary sees is 4 rank bad bowls bowled without any sense of focus, planning or regret. India loses, yet again in those circumstances when he has done just about everything right.

DOWN TO EARTH:

He does not cry. Does not show any emotion. Just keeps his head down and leaves the field. He has seen these failures for 22 years now. And not just his class, relatives, friends but the whole world has seen these failures. We are too immature to even imagine what goes on in that mind and heart of his. That’s why I would never want to be Sachin.

True, he has single handedly lifted to moods of this entire nation umpteen number of times. He has been an inspiration to rise above our mediocrity. Nobody who has ever lifted the willow even comes close to this man’s genius. His dedication and metal strength is unparallel. This is specially for those people who would have made fun of him again last night when India lost. They are people who are mediocre in their own lives. Who just scoff at others to create cheap fun. Who have lived in a small hole throughout their lives and thought they have seen the oceans.

Think about the man himself. He is 37 years of age. He has been playing almost non stop for 22 years. The way he was running and diving around the field last night would have put 22 year olds to shame. The way he played the best opening quickies in the world was breathtaking. He just keeps getting better which is by the way humanly impossible. Its not for nothing that people call him GOD.

But still I don’t want to be in those shoes. We struggle in keeping our monotonous lives straight, lives which affect a limited number of people. Imagine what would be the magnitude of the inner struggle for him, pain both mental and physical, tears that have frozen with time, knees and ankles and every other joint in the body that is either bandaged or needs to be attended to every night, eyes that don’t sleep before a big game, bats that have scored 99 international tons and still see expectations from a billion people.

And he just converts those expectations into reality. We watch in awe, feel privileged.

Well I think its time that his team realizes that enough is enough. They have an obligation, not towards their country alone but towards sachin. They need to win this one for him. Stay assured that he himself will still deliver and leave no stone unturned to make sure India wins this cup.

This is not just a game, and he is not just a sportsman. Its much more than this. Words fail here.....

"Dream Big"

Dream big:
If you want to be successful you need to change your mind set first and start thinking big.
Small daily improvements over time lead to stunning results.
In Alchemist it’s written that when you want something, all the universe conspires to help you achieve it. Try to have the desire in your heart. There can be no growth or progress without the feeling the nervousness in the pit of your belly.
According to neurology, speech center in the brain has strong influences over all the nerves.
“If some one keeps on saying , I am going to become weak, then right away all the nerves receive that message and they say “Oh lets prepare for weakness, for we have received instructions from our central communication that we should become weak.” Then in natural sequence they adjust their physical attitude to weakness
People easily adapt themselves to speaking in a –ve way
So dream big and positive and let the dreams develop into a desire to do great exploits
First recognize a clear cut goal in your heart, draw a mental picture of that goal vivid and graphic, and strive fervently through out the process.
Who so ever controls the tongue, controls the whole body, what you speak you are going to get. Never speak in a –ve way speak always positively ( Generally during crunch time if anyone commented us or insulted we just waste our time thinking that all the world is against us, it is just 2 or 3 against , forget about this two think about others and move a head in life)
If you start thinking that you are the best and if it is deeply imbibed in your mind then definitely you will have improvement. Find ways to challenge yourself each day. Give nothing less than your very best. Which every field you might be, start thinking about the person who has already proved that he is best in that field and try to empathize yourself in that position.
For that you need to shout
“The genius with in me is now released, I now fulfill my destiny” and see how happy and confident you feel
When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too…
It’s very simple. Go through the following statements

1) Mastery is nothing it is just about making this day better than yesterday. (Take the example of Sachin Tendulkar, he has created many records but still he tries for more, we must have that passion)

2) Stop following “Student syndrome” method. Don’t wait till the last minute (90% of people say that they have studied only during the last minute i.e during the exams, 20% of people may be lying but once think if the remaining 70% people gives time for just few more days how they would have fared in their exams, it’s almost same for the employees regarding their projects.)

3) Introspect on yourselves every month…definitely it will help you to improve ( During the start of every month just write down what you want to do in that month and cross check after that , we usually think but writing down on a paper will definitely yield good result.)

4) Keep 4-5 tiny goals in a day and try to achieve them…this will help you up the ladder to success if you follow it regularly ( Eg- If you start getting up early i.e 6 in the morning,. you are saving 2 hrs a day, 60 hrs in a month and 720 hrs in year i.e you will get almost 1 month extra.)

5) Don’t worry about the things which you are not having ( When ever I travel in streets of Mumbai I used to feel bad by seeing the sky touching towers on the right side, at the same way after seeing towards left (slum areas), I used to thank God because I am not in that position)

6) Try to keep things simple, don’t make it complicated un necessarily..don’t make yourselves busy and don’t feel that you are more busy than actually you are in office.

7) Focus only on the best and neglect all the rest
Suppose you guys might be facing a problem with your boss i.e he might be taking the credit for the work you have done, don’t get discouraged because of that and don’t stop doing the work, continue to give 100%, don’t worry about result, hard work pays.

8) Stop looking for solutions in the last minute (General tendency is we evaluate in a detailed way and look for a solution only during crisis time, this should be avoided)

9) Potential unrealized turns to pain…so try to find out and work for it, it may take time but if not now you will regret in future

10) Its impossible to build a tribute to success on a foundation of excuses..so stop giving excuses
Blood, sweat and tears are necessary to reach dreams, hopes and joys, so always remember that initiative and hard work is the warm-up act for a headliner called “success”
I end this by giving the quotes which I like the most in Alchemist
The fear of suffering is worse than suffering itself
The darkest hour of night comes just before the dawn
So friends, don’t worry about anything, be positive, have confidence, keep smiling rest all will follow…….”Rock the world” Keep Smiling
