Cricket fever is on everywhere right now. If we don't just look at it game, it gives a wonderful message for our life.
Cricket is like life : full of challenges, teamwork, surprises and opportunities... Cricket and life share many deep and meaningful similarities.
Cricket where the toss winner gets the opportunity to choose bat/bowl first. Here toss flip is not in our control but decision to bat or bowl is in our control and its important decision.
Like this in life the toss represents the things you can’t control: luck, timing, circumstances of birth, opportunities. But what you can do is the step you take next, preparation you do for whatever comes next. That's important.
------------------------------------------------
Cricket where success depends on all players not just one player.
Life is also about teamwork of family members, teamwork at work, teamwork in communities. We can achieve more together than alone.
------------------------------------------------
Cricket where every player has defined role to play like bowler, batsman, fielder. Sometimes multiple roles to play, but every role is well defined. In life also every individual has a role/roles to play, it's the matter of understanding our role/roles clearly.
------------------------------------------------
Cricket where results are unpredictable at times. Life also gives unpredictable results sometimes in terms of success, in terms of rewards, in terms of achievements. We just need to analyse it, learn from it and try to be better next time.
------------------------------------------------
Like cricket, where winning game with humility and losing with grace is true sportsmanship. Life also is about how we behave in success or failure, it defines our character.
------------------------------------------------
Like cricket, timely play is important. 'Miss to catch a ball', 'Miss to reach the target during running', 'Miss to bowl at right target' is many a times just a matter of few seconds but it can turn out costly in terms of winning the game. Time is very important here. Life also is a game of time, things done at right time is important. Grab the opportunity as it comes.
------------------------------------------------
Like Cricket where it requires good planning at every stage of game. In Life also planning is very important at milestones. We need to plan and act to succeed.
------------------------------------------------
Like Cricket where practice is must throughout the year to show the results in actual matches. In Life also we need to practice to win.
------------------------------------------------
Like wise each game gives many learnings, it's a matter of catching it....
To compare our life with cricket is very good idea and very good points to understand. We also can be winner in our life by planning like cricket match is a good idea. I liked the article.
