Fours and Sixes of Life

Cricket is one such game that makes its fans, especially those in India, go crazy about everything that is related to it. The cricketers are immensely worshiped by their excited fans and at the same time these devotees make it a point to know the cricketer‘s personal life and whereabouts, as their pass time activity. The atmosphere of a cricket match is worth experiencing at least once in a lifetime. A packed stadium with attractive and creative fans, neutral viewers, non-stop commentaries, energetic and animated performances, continual uproars and cheers for every delivery all have a part in a cricket match. More so if you happen to witness a T20 match, you will be overwhelmed with the sensational and thunderous atmosphere of the stadium and soon you might find your-self one with them. It is also a pleasant sight to view the stadium after the match, the viewers move out with mixed feelings whereas the fans seem to be either dejected or high-spirited.

Apart from the feeling factor that the audience carry with them, there is more to the game. For instance, in a T20 match, there is always a continuous uproar of the audience for two consistent moments i.e. for a clean four and for a massive six.

A clean four is hit by a batsman keeping in mind all the positions of the fielders. With this clear picture, he chances the ball through the gaps present between the fielders. Therefore, a clean four is possible only with the help of an appropriate judgment, keeping in mind all the odds. If we drag the same principle to our life, it would apply thus; we can orient our life towards success only with the help of appropriate judgments and decisions. And luckily it is an everyday activity for us. Without these daily judgments and decisions our life would come to a standstill.

The next and the most important task for a batsman is to hit the maximum. He takes the risk to hit a massive six, as he hits the ball high in the sky and sends it beyond the boundary line. It calls him to send the ball flying at the right moment. And the right moment would be when he believes in himself. The same formula is applicable to our life, apart from the everyday decisions for a regular living; we need to make timely daring decisions so as to challenge ourselves. This will add flavor to our living.

Finally, to taste and enjoy the coffee of Success we need to flavor it with daring steps and contain it safely in our cup of dream because every batsman steps onto the field with a dream to be the best.
So let your dream help you to strike fours and sixes for a purpose-filled living.
