Sport has the capacity to teach us a lot of lessons! Today, I saw glimpses of the cricket match between India and Sri Lanka. India had to chase down 321 in 40 overs to stay in the triangular competition(other side-Australia). This is a very hard chase and especially when you have been losing or are being criticised constantly. I think Team India is at its lowest point in the past few years. In the midst of all this, this young aggressive chap, Virat Kohli, a Delhi lad of 25, scored 133* in just 86 balls. The point to note was the aggresion and self-belief in the chap! It was an amazing knock. When no one believes that you are of any value, that's when you come forward and put your hand up and say - "Guys, watch out! I am there." I take this as a lesson. Being self-confident and doing what you're supposed to do would give satisfaction, I think. I have a lesson to learn from Virat Kohli, when it comes to being self-confident and hard-working and listening to one's own voice rather than just being an also-ran!
