So many Indian cricket fans in India and around the world were dishearten by semi final cricket World Cup 2019 loss and their dreams of winning World Cup shattered. What lesson we can learn by this loss which also applies in our life.
Winning or losing is two sides of coin. In any sports if one team, one player, one country wins then obviously the other loses. And never ever underestimate any team or player. When India came in semi final against New Zealand everyone was very happy and thought that India can easily defeat them. Also in our jobs, businesses, federal, provincial, municipal, political parties election results, our relations with family members and friends, countries economy and many other fields ups and downs, good times and bad times, hurdles, winnings or losing come which had to be accepted graciously.
America’s great President Abraham Lincoln born in poor family a son of cobbler. He lost eight elections, twice failed in business and even had nervous breakdown but never gave up and finally became president and achieved his life time goal of abolishing slavery.
The other very important lesson to be learn is - many cricket fans in India did Havana, pujas, offering to gods and goddesses, chanting mantras, and even during match praying and chanting mantras for India’s win and what results it got! You will be judge. At least we should be proud that twice India won World Cup, T20 cup and Championship cup and in this World Cup our of 8 won 7 matches and remained top in points standing while England won first time and that too with controversy filled result.
