The more he saw the less he spoke,
The less he spoke, the more he heard,
Why aren’t we all like that wise old bird?

In cricket there are 2 teams of 11 member each.
A team bats first and makes runs. Then the second team bats and have to make 1 run more than the first team to win the match.
If you have played cricket or watched it, you will know that the team can almost invariably win the match by pacing the runs made, being smart, and keeping the wickets instead of going at a berserk run making rate.
Pacing the “run-making” steadily gives a much higher certainty to win the game. But even at international levels, this does not happen, in fact, there is always so much pressure to make runs and win it faster.
Why? why not be smart take singles or twos and win the game rather than fall short of the targets and lose?
Maybe it’s our ego urging us to be a hero – Finish is fast, finish it mega! finish it with fours and sixes.
But at the end if its about winning game, so slow and steady has much better chance of winning.
Life is similar to that if we want to be fairly certain to succeed (Whatever our long-term goal is..). Being steady, pacing our innings gives us the best chance to win.
So let’s not burn ourselves in heroism, lets not go by what others have done to achieve, they might have got lucky or might have been trying the same for a much longer period of time, we never know.
Slow and steady still wins the race even in this digital era 🙂
Parents are unconditional and forgiving punching bags who feel happiest when they get bashed up by their kids.
Failure limits our choices, which is good otherwise life will be too overwhelming to live.
So “Fail” as much as possible.
Let’s accept the fact that everyone faces difficult situations in life, and believe me, one that is more successful faces it more frequently.
Also, instead of denial, let’s acknowledge the fact that we are facing a difficult situation, that’s the first step towards finding any resolution or moving forward.
Here are a few thoughts on how we can figure out the current situation and try to resolve it:
In the end, it’s more important to be happy 🙂 and keep feeling better about ourselves. Any situation we are in is part of learnings to move forward…
An attitude of entitlement scares us away from trying harder.
It doesn’t increase the chances to get what we want. And it ruins the joy of the things making us guilt conscious.
