Dr. Suresh Nanda draws parallels between cricket and life lessons. Some key lessons are to have patience in both cricket and life, whether it's waiting for the right opportunity or situation. Both cricket and life require technical skills, endurance, and perseverance to face challenges and thrive. Success in both domains depends on building a strong team and support system. Lapses in concentration or rash decisions can be costly in cricket matches and one's career.
2. Life Lessons
For a big score, you have to have patience in shot
selection, leave the good balls and wait for the bad
balls to score.
In life you have to have patience and take decisions
while waiting for the right opportunity
When playing do not get over awed by the reputation
of the bowler, but judge based on the quality of each
delivery. It's your technical skill and experience which
helps you survive the good balls.
In life you can meet adverse situations by your
knowledge, skills, patience and hard work.
3. Life Lessons
When your team is in problem, you need to have loads
of patience and staying power to take your team out of
problems.
Life is a test match and not a T-20. You need technical
skills, endurance and tenacity to survive and thrive.
When you lack confidence, it reflects in your game
and so does in your life.
Respect the opposition, but do not get overwhelmed
by them and find smart ways of winning.
A short lapse of concentration can cost a great innings.
Similarly a rush of blood decision can cost your career.
4. Life Lessons
Success in cricket depends on the contribution of all
the team members and support staff.
In life to be successful, you have to build a winning
team comprising your professional team members and
support groups including family members, friends and
professional associates.
5. Life Lessons
Don't be satisfied with your tall score in the previous
innings. Always be hungry for more.
Often you end a great innings due to a rash or lazy shot
due to boredom.
In life you may take a drastic decision of changing your
job and moving away from a potentially great career
due to a short, boring and non challenging phase. Be
careful to avoid such a costly decision.
