S-33 Play with the life events as if you are a batsman

Play with the life events as if you are a batsman and the life events are balls coming towards you. Play one ball at a time. Take single runs when you cannot strike a sixer. Let your score continue to go up in whatever activities you do.

Following words are attributed to Vijay Merchant. (As read in a MidDay article)

1) Cricket has taught me to tackle problems as they come, the way one plays every ball on its merit.

2) Cricket has taught me to make up for the failures of others in a game. It has taught me to help those who are less fortunate than I am.

3) Cricket has given me a sportsman-like attitude to life, an attitude which I would have never normally developed.
