Yes, been there, know that. The Great Smritians prevailed by a mile in the finals of the 2nd #WPL. One More Time, Once Again, Delhi Capitals lost (yet) another final. It wasn't, as MJ would have said, a #Thriller. And, much as I tried to stop my RJ self from taking over these thoughts, I couldn’t help falling in love …..
1. With A Little Help From My Friends. Team work – nothing beats playing together as one cohesive unit, as RCB prevailed.
2. Love Is All Around Me. The age old debate between generalist vs specialist. RCB seemed to settle that by packing their team with quality all rounders.
3. Kool & The Gang. The leader must inculcate a culture of keeping a cool head. Being cool as a cucumber wins sports contests. Unless you are a John McEnroe.
4. How Deep Is Your Love/ Team. Bat deep, bowl deeper. Hire the best and the strongest. In every department.
5. You Cant Hurry Love. Or a result. Haste makes waste, as the collapse of DC showed. Also, shows Organic growth is for the long haul, even though inorganic growth may be could in the short term.
6. Waiting For a Girl/ Trophy Like You. Plan. Execute. Wait. And someone, somewhere will make a mistake. And then you will be Dancing in the Dark.
7. The Only Way Is Up. Keep the mindset of a winner. Be dynamic. Be flexible. Adjust your plans. And You Win Again.
How could any post about winning, motiviation, learning and never giving up be complete without, yes, The Eye Of The Tiger:
It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
Congratulations to RCB. The women went where no RCB man has gone before. And lifted their maiden title. Here’s to Glory, Always Forever.
