Walking through
the life of a person whom you adore is always inspiring. It took me no time to
read “Playing it My Way” – an autobiography of Sachin Tendulkar. Everyone who
loves sport and cricket has huge respect for Sachin. For me, he is not only a
great sportsperson world has ever seen but also a true humble gentleman who had
his feet on ground while touching the sky of glory. His life is a lesson for
all of us and I am jotting down few points below which I learned from his autobiography:
- Do the work which you enjoy. There should be passion in the work else it is a burden.
- Whatever success you have achieved in life, always be humble and grounded.
- Practice your trade everyday whatever your experience is.
- Analysis of what you are doing everyday matters. Challenge yourself.
- Have vision for yourself but focus on the day’s job. If it is well done, you are a step closer to your vision.
- Remember and thank everyone who has made you what you are.
- Family matters as they are the one with you during hardest of your times.
- You should have well devised strategy against all your competitors and you should be flexible enough to tweak it at any point of time. Don’t’ get bogged down.
- Whatever you do Ethics and Integrity should be at its core.
- Success requires many sacrifices.
These are my learnings from the autobiography. Please read it if you are planning to read it and share your learnings as well.
