Competition-Don't take it easy

Indians out-ran Lanka on July 3 at Karachi to join Sri Lanka in the July 6 Final of 9th Asia Cup Cricket Competition chasing Sri Lanka's total of 308. India romped home in the 47th over losing four wickets in the process. A remarkable victory. But India's Jinx continues. Unorthodox spinner sets record in Lanka's 100-Run Victory over India on July 6 at Karachi. A tale of two different days.

India won 1st Twenty-20 World Cup. Lost recently in Bangladesh & now in Pakistan. Result is the ultimate thing. In competition result is the final outcome. Result decides champion.

Reebok, Adidas, Nike are well ahead of Bata. Bata is now like Indian Cricket Team. Once upon a time champion of the competition. At present the loser. Philips a front-runner of earlier days is currently trailing behind. "The Statesman" (an English News daily) is no where in the competition. All other Engish News Dailies are well ahead of "The Statesman". To remain champion of the Competition one has to follow the following simple rules:

1. Hard work, Hard work & Hard work-No substitute for Hard work.
2. No complacency.
3. Always prepare for the adverse.
4. Always have positive frame of mind.
5. Firm determination.
6. All through Proactive.
7. Never undermine the competitors & at the same time never overestimate.
8. Teamwork.
9. High morale & motivation.
10. Good Human Relation techniques like Tatas & not like Diamond Merchants of Bhavnagar, Gujarat.

At last
Citi never sleeps/IBM is always ahead/Microsoft is going strong/Google is Google-all are champions in their respective field.

Never try to follow the philosophy of the Indian Cricket Team and in that case you will be a great loser.

Be champion always, even in your PGDM/PGDIB examinations. Come out always with flying colours. Follow the above positive tips for success. Success will be yours.
