An Open Letter to Sachin Tendulkar from one of his Die Hard Fan.

“Dear Sachin,

I feel sad. Even after 22 years of playing for the country, you are still expected to win matches on your own. We forget that apart from you there are 10 more players in the team. You have been the run machine in World Cups with an average …of 60. Even today while you yet again proved your class with a 111 the others around took it easy. You chased the ball in the outfield and ensured that your throws landed on top of the bails. Others preferred to drop catches or go back to the dressing room for a ‘rest’ while a substitute fielder came in. Sachin, the current Indian cricket team doesn’t deserve you. They don’t know what it is like to give one’s blood and sweat for this nation of a billion people. For them fame and money has come to easy and undeserving – not commensurate to the ’supposed talent’ that they posses. Do you remember what you had said to Tom Alter in that interview in 1989? “I just want to play cricket”. Sachin, let me also not hide the truth – you are not my favorite cricketer – but one plays favorites only with humans – not with Gods for they are revered, emulated and looked at in awe… [We expect Sachin to win this cup for us. But what about the other players? Are they supposed to be playing ludo in the dressing room? I hope that the rest of the team wake up and realize that they are not there to 'play' in the tournament, they are supposed to 'win' it - not for themselves, not for India but for the greatest Indian to have lived - Sachin Tendulkar. P.S: In the 1992, Hero Cup semi-final in Eden Gardens Kolkata (India Vs. SA), SA needed 6 runs to win off the last over. Tendulkar snatched the ball from Azhar and bowled a magnificent over to win that match for us. (He gave away only 3 runs). Maybe our team needs to watch that over to know what guts and glory are all about.] Sachin, I hope we win the final in Wankhede. If we don’t a billion people can only hang their heads in shame and ask for your forgiveness.

Regards,

One of your undying fans who:
1. Still goes crazy when you hit that straight drive and show us the manufacturer’s name on the bat.
2. Stayed awake late into the night before my end terms to watch that 100 in Sharjah in the midst of that sandstorm.
3. Relished every shot that you played to decimate Warne in 1998 and then Shoaib Akhtar in that 2003 World Cup against Pakistan.
4. Will stop watching cricket after you retire.”

Believe in yourself.

There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be.

That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down.

But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself.

There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them.

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are.

So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.

Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Keep Believing in Yourself

Secret Agent Puzzle

The secret agent X emailed a code word to his head office. They are "AIM DUE OAT TIE MOD". But four of these five words are fake and only one contains the information. The agent X also mailed a sentence as a clue - if I tell you any one character of the code word, you would be able to tell the number of vowels in the code word. Can you tell which is the code word?

Solution:

The code word is TIE.

If you were told any one character of MOD, then you would not be able to determine whether the number of vowels are one or two. e.g. if you were told M, there are two words with M - AIM with 2 vowels and MOD with 1 vowel. So you would not be able to say the number of vowels. Same arguments can be given for characters O and D. Hence, the word with any one of M, O or D is not a code word i.e. AIM, DUE, OAT and MOD are not the code word. Thus, TIE is the code word.
T : two words - TIE and OAT, both with 2 vowels
I : two words - TIE and AIM, both with 2 vowels
E : two words - TIE and DUE, both with 2 vowels.

Secret of Success -- Socrates

A young man asked Socrates the secret of Success. Socrates told the young
man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met.

Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river.

When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise
and ducked him into the water. The man struggled to get out but Socrates was
strong and kept him there until he started turning blue.

The young man struggled hard and finally managed to get out and the first
thing he did was to gasp and take deep breath. Socrates asked 'What you
wanted the most when you were there?' The man replied 'Air'.

Socrates said 'that's the secret to success. When you want success as
badly as you wanted air, you will get it. There is no other secret'

What is Success ?

EveryOne want to have success in their life or wanna succed :)

To be succed in life/game/love..blah blah anything ..One must need a Goal/Objective.Achieving your goal is nothing but the SUCCESS .when success is in your hands face shines with gloom.Everyone wish to get his wishes fullfilled one or the other way.And there are many occasions in one's life that he/she has not succedded viceversly the success too.

The reason behind one's success can have many reasons like:
Hardwork
Interest
Luck
Determination towards the goal
Right Game Plan
Self-Confidence
Motivation
.... Many to say.

Similarly the reason behind one's failure also have many reasons :
Lack of Interest.
Being Pessimist .
Unlucky.
Indisipline.
Not putting the efforts towards reaching the objective.
Wrong Planning.. blah blah

Everyone in this world might have tasted both the sweetness of success and sourness of failure.That is what makes  the life complete.After all we are  human beings.I have seen many people around who share many things about them like they are wishing to be like so, wanna achieve some thing, wanna learn something,wanna expertise in their field, Earn lots of Money and few want the fame etc In running towards the success many people learn lots of things in their journey and at last very few are reaching to the success.And there are many who are not (Just as the reslut of the  flipped coin, it can be either Success or failure) . Reason might be anything.To be clear in reaching one's goal or path to the objective one must need the right motivation .And i m sure that right quotes by the great people who are succeeded  by tasting the sweetness and sourness in thier life will be the good source for ones motivation.

I have a collection few good quotes on success by successful people.

"A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. "

"Action is Eloquence and the Eloquence is foundational key to all success"

"Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure. "


"The practice of daily disciplines alone can change our lives totally. Another benefit of daily disciplines is that they quickly create habits and habits create character."

A great quote by Jim Ryun, the American Athlete, is as follows

"Motivation is what gets you started.
Habit is what keeps you going"

Another brilliant quote is:

"Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value."

As there are many ways to success simlilarly there are many quotes on success and i cannot put all those in a post

But I would like to know what exactly a success mean to you ?

Drawing my attention .. Awesome

Today in the morning while i was checking the e-mails I found an e-mail with subject as "Famous last words". I just ignored that e-mail  thinking like it would be some kind of quotes/proverb. I was not in a mood to check the proverbs at that moment(Which I usually like to read).I just ignored it and moved to the other e-mails which suit my mood at the moment like "3- Ididots in Pakistan", "Sachin's shell house", "Shayari with pics" awesome all this are very funny contents I enjoyed :)

                     Finally I thought to check the first email in the list i.e "Famous last words" as there were no unread mails left ;).so I opened the e-mail It has title like "Alexander the Great's Last Words" and some content with out any pictures (Nahh).It did not draw any kind of attention from my side.Anyhow very lazily i started reading the content . As i was going on reading.... it made me realize that it was some thing very interesting and moving myself more closer to my desktop with lots more concentration i have competed reading it.Wwow what a preicous content it was.... It had a great message which I liked very much and thought to share with all the people around me tat is why i am posting it in my blog enjoy guys :)

Hope people who have good knowledge of history might be knowing it already but I feel there might be many people would like to read this.

I feel better to put in a new post :) :)

NBA

Do you know about this Legend??

Yeap he is the Dunk Mastero Micheal Jordan.

I am every much impressed with his one of his statement which he has delivered at the time ,when he was considered as one of the greatest NBA Player of the World ever produced.

His statement was like this:-

" I have missed more than 9,000 shots in my Career.

I have lost almost 300 games.

Twenty six times I've trusted to take the game-winning shot and missed.

I've failed over and over and over again in my life.

And that is Why I succeed "

Think Once being such a great personality he is very much down to earth and that is what laid a better path for his Career .
