Luck favours Hard work..!!

Is it “ENDULKAR”? was the question raised by many Indians, especially his critics after 2007 world cup. Remember??

In 2003 World Cup, India had at least reached final but in 2007, Indian team was knocked out in the first round itself which was termed as a worst performance by the team ever. Though the whole team was held responsible by the management and by the Indian crazy cricket lovers for the loss, Sachin was the main target of his critics which were turning it up with all fingers pointed against him. Sachin was criticized by then coach Greg Chappell for his attitude. Sachin opposed his suggestion of batting down at no. 4 position and also commented that looking at teams benefit he is well worth as an opener, but no, he was forced to bat at no. 4 slot which eventually didn’t work. Many of them (which includes known names in cricket) even said that his career was taking the last lap.

This very situation gave sleepless nights to his fans.

Sometimes it happens that you keep on trying and work hard but still it is not acknowledge to its creditability. Sachin was trying his best and was working hard in nets to succeed but he was not able to achieve the kind of result he was willing to. Don’t know what was happening to him. There was some superficial thing working against him. Yes, it does always, even if you don't want to think of it. There is one factor called LUCK which rules your life along with the hard work you put in. There’s an old saying that, “90% Hardwork and 10% luck gives you success.”

Luck is something which is not in your hands but working hard is in your reach, so your work can make your luck but luck cannot make your work. So always trust yourself.

Hard work is like ‘stairs’ and Luck is like a ‘lift’. Lift may fail sometime, but the stairs will always get you to the top.

Now read this:

“A paper flying in the air is due to LUCK but a kite flying in air is due to effort. So don’t worry if LUCK doesn’t support. Efforts are always yours.”

Sachin did the same and continued with his hard work until the luck didn’t favor him.

He came back strongly after the World Cup fully charged, making his critics to eat their words.

Boss this one is especially for all those critics, here it goes, “The champions don’t come with an expiry date.”

Following the World Cup, came the series against Bangladesh and ODI series against South Africa which India won convincingly, wherein both the tournaments Sachin was awarded the man of the series trophy. Be it ODI series against England or ODI series against the Australians, Sachin was booming high leading the runs tally in both these series. By now he had turned 34, but he was playing like a youngster full of energy and enthusiasm, and was looking hungry to go out and get runs.

In 2007-08, during Border-Gavaskar Trophy down under, Sachin showed his master class. Though India lost the test series, Sachin was the top scorer with 493 runs in his kitty. It was a controversial series. You must be remembering the Bhajji and Symmonds spat during the second test at Sydney. It went on to be a major racial issue. In the subsequent third test at WACA in Perth, India recorded a historical win. With two centuries in the series and consistent performance bagged him the Player of the Match award.

You must have noted that most of the times when Sachin plays well, makes a century, India looses the match.(Will talk about this some other time) It’s disheartening but it is a fact. I told you, the governance of the factor called Luck, what a ****!! persist in some way.

Whatever it is, go on doing your job, the luck will be taken care by the person sitting up above in the blue sky.
