Loud Thinking

Posts Tagged ‘attitude’

Heartiest congratulations to Pakistani cricket team and PCB, on consecutive all cricket formats victories, against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh cricket teams.

Now the real test of planning, talent and abilities, awaits our cricket team and it’s management, against English team in UAE series, next month.

In this regard, the PCB may consider as below, a recipe for winning against England.

1. Positive Attitude.  Defensive minds are neither creative nor cooperative. Until  and unless we only focus on nothing short of winning (and consider a DRAW as a DEFEAT) no planning and preparation, will give us the desired results.

2. Planning. The team management in particular and players in general must be told that PLANS never fail, rather we fail to PLAN. And for planning, the first and foremost thing is the mind set, totally focused on goal achievement. In order to achieve the impossible, it is precisely imperative, to think the unthinkable.

3. Video Analysis. All concerned must sit and watch strengths and weaknesses of English as well as, Pakistani players. This will not only help in overcoming our weaknesses, but will also help in field settings, determining bowling line and length, knowing weakness of opponent players, against fast and spin bowling etc.

4. Infusion of Motivation. Since, cricket is a mind game, a motivation specialist (NOT psychiatrist) must be attached with the team, with the task to convert our players, from being simply dynamic persons to a DYNAMITE personality, so that every player must perform, to his peak ability. In my opinion, the best person in the country, for this job is Ms Andleeb Abbas.

5. Team Selection. (a) The success of any project depends on the right selection of it’s team members. The enemy of the BEST is often the GOOD. In fact, now it is said that the only difference between winning and losing organizations is the quality of it’s people, which includes their character, belief, habits, personal motivation and abilities.

(b) We should not only select players on merit or past performances but, one or two batsmen and bowlers from domestic circuit should also be selected by just anticipating, that given a chance, they can be stars overnight with their sheer fearlessness and big game temperament. Just like as a shrewd jeweler, we should pick a diamond from the rubbles.

(c) Having said that, Shahid Afridi (basically on his bowling and fielding abilities and forgetting his batting ability, because in cricket bowlers win matches) and Umar Akmal (if he is given the wicket keeping job the team becomes more balanced), must be selected for the Test teams as well.

(d) Similarly, our wicket keepers on show till now have been just average players. We must find some really outstanding wicket keeper, for which the legend Mr. Wasim Bari should be assigned the task, to find out the person who can be categorized as find of the tour.

6.Team Management. The team management must be told that business as usual, will not deliver in this most tough series. They should know that management is doing 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.

Luck is not everything.

Then,

Hard Work

 8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

Knowledge

Most of us think this is the most important ?

Then what makes 100% ?

Is it Money ? .. NO !

 M+O+N+E+Y

 13+15+14+5+25 = 72%

Leadership ? …. NO ! ! !

 12+5+1+4+5+18+ 19+9+1 6 = 89%

Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our attitude.

“The winner’s edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in
talent. The winner’s edge is all in the attitude, not
aptitude. Attitude is the criterion for success.”

— Denis Waitley

If Pakistan forgets thrashing by NZ batsmen and focus on winning the game with absolutely positive attitude, they can still win the match easily.

Nevertheless, if fate has ordained defeat for you, give it a good fight. Never ever, surrender.

As they say, a picture is worth more than a thousand words, the following video about the plight of the grandson of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, speaks volumes about the apathy, of we Pakistanis, towards the immediate descendants of the Father of the Nation. Our callous attitude towards the family members of the benefactor of the Pakistani nation is pathetic, to say the least.

The federal & provincial government machinery (including the organs of armed forces, judiciary & the parliament ), all Pakistani citizens inside & abroad Pakistan , all political parties & all sections of media must equally share the blame for this apathy, towards the plight of the family members of Quaid-e-Azam.

When the government is already spending tax payers money to look after the former presidents, prime ministers and retired government servants and their families, why  the family of the father of the nation cannot be looked after?

In this regard, the honourable Chief Justice of supreme court of Pakistan, Mr. Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, is requested to take initiative on behalf of the Pakistani nation and announce launching of a fund with the names of trustees & bank account number details for donations to mitigate (not one time but on continuous basis) the sufferings of the great family members of descendants of father of the nation.

Additionally, this fund can also help and assist the deserving Pakistan movement workers and their families.
