Loud Thinking

(I wrote this article exactly a year ago, is being reproduced for the lovers of the game, on the first anniversary of the world record, created by Sachin Tendulkar)

Many congratulations to Sachin Tendulkar for creating a unique world record, of scoring a double century in an innings of an ODI. It is a well-deserved honor earned by a batsman (Sachin Tendulkar ) adored by the followers of the game, transcending the geographical boundaries of their nations. Without doubt, the feats of Sachin are a testimony to the fact, that he is the greatest player, ever produced, by the glorious game of cricket.

In fact, cricket is truly a game of peace. It is the only game where player of one team, ties the shoe laces of the opponent member of the team. Under the circumstances, millions of cricket lovers of Pakistan and India have been denied, for more than sufficient gap of time, the pleasure of witnessing high class cricket duels between one of the finest cricketers, the game has ever produced.

We the cricket lovers, demand from both the governments and their respective cricket boards, to immediately restore cricketing ties between the two teams. Initially, we can play three tests five ODI’s and two T20 matches series in Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai stadiums in the first available slot of time. Both the teams can also experimentally, play a night test match in the proposed series. Thus, turning a new leaf in the annuls of the game.

I am confident that, by the resumption of cricketing ties between Pakistan and India, a lot of animosity will also be removed in their current tension riddled ties. In this regard, it is very aptly said that the most ailing nations have developed a functional blindness to their own defects. They are not suffering because they can’t resolve their problems, but because they can’t see their problems.

The leadership of both the countries must realize that only peace and friendship, not war, can break the shackles of poverty and terrorism, so rampant in the sub-continent.

Friends…….They love you,

But they’re not your lover

They care for you,

But they’re not from your family

They’re ready to share your pain,

But they’re not your blood relation.

They are………FRIENDS! !!!!

A True friend……. .

Scolds like a DAD…

Cares like a MOM..

Teases like a SISTER..

Irritates like a BROTHER..

And finally loves you more than a LOVER.

Never dress for the postion you have. Always dress for the position you want.

Without involvement there is no commitment.

Things that matter most must not be at the mercy of things that matter least.

Organize and execute around priorities.

Effective people are not problem minded, they are opportunity minded. They feed opportunities and starve problems. They think preventatively.

The enemy of the best is often the good.

We see the world, not as it is, but as we are – or, as we are conditioned to see it.

 Management is doing the things right. Leadership is doing the right things.

Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; Leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall.

 Maturity is the balance  between courage and consideration. Seeking to understand requires consideration. Seeking to be understood takes courage.
