Life and T20

 Life and T20.

Currently IPL matches are going on.

Occasionally when I return home after a long tiring day, do sit with my husband and watch some match.

I am not a cricket fan.

No idea about the famous trending cricket players....except some talked about a lot on social media. 

I watched a few minutes off and on yesterday's match between Gujrat Titans and Rajasthan Royals.

RR had 15yr old protegee Vaibhav Sooryavanshi hitting hard.6 s and 4s.

But he was lucky to have the opponent drop catches twice....and finally successful at 96....

Poor boy was utterly disappointed. 

GT had a big target at 215.

Most times I have seen,when a high target is set.....the opposite team in a T20,limited overs match....starts to hit big.

Every ball is aimed for a 6.

But GT had opening batsman Shubhman Gill.He looked so calm and composed. He played calculated. Absolute no risky shots which would get him caught.

A flat 4.....or single runs each ball.

No brisk 2s in between wickets which had risk of runout. 

Slowly and steadily,GTplayed till almost the last overs and completed the required runs for a win against RR and enter the Finals of IPL .

Life is so similar.....just like T20 match.

Today,youth is aggressive. 

They don't want to play Test match ....leisurely and slowly enjoying the game of life.

My generation played Game of Life like one day Cricket. 

At times fast hitting 6s and helicopter shots on bouncers like MS Dhoni ...or calculated like Rahul Dravid.

A mix of shots.

Today Gen Z wants fast....just like T20 limited overs hard hitting aggressive matches.

Impatient to make it big fast.

Aggressive to achieve high expectations out of life. 

The over indulgence ,Aggression and Restlessly Impatient youth wants to hit a high 6 at every ball.

Yes,one achieves high targets at early age of life.....

But .....

One loose ball....and you are at risk of getting caught....and either losing it all....to get out of the race ...or go out on a Duck....at the first ball itself.....

Gen Z .....targets and bucket list are ,I agree,needed to be high....for big achievements in life.

To be successful, one must manifest big aims......

Calculated Risks must be taken...when the opportunity are viable for big shots.....

But .....

Life and Targets can be played well and success can be achieved if mind is calm,composed and patient .

A steady growth at reasonable pace....too will give desired results and goals can be reached.

Yes,big shots and bigger risks help reach goals faster.But there are higher chances of failure and rejections with the higher risks.....and that leads to frustration, disappointment and dejection...( Like the almost in tears young Vaibhav Sooryavanshi)

Life doesn't always give 2nd chance.

There are big chance of going on duck if caught early.

Slowly and steadily, race can be won.
