creating a plot!

 "You have to set a batsman up in Test Cricket"

Wasim Akram , Champion Fast Bowler , Pakistan

In Cricket , Ordinary bowlers go with empty mind as they start their delivery stride;
but an Expert bowler has at least 3 plans as they start their run-up; 

The best of the bowlers - Create a plot! - Shane Warne, Allan Donald, Anil Kumble, Muttaiah Muralitharan , Ashwin Ravichandran and Wasim Akram 

They set up a plot - to trap the batsman - 

 As they execute the plot - some mishaps do occur- They go for a lot of runs ! but they smile at it! as that is again part of the plot ...

Setting up the trap by giving the batsman a false sense of success!  

and they advance towards the plot -   (Wicked fellows - these bowlers :-))

And if one plot goes for a toss, they have another up their sleeve and start posing that!

Indian Spin Bowler, Anil Kumble says this : " I was constantly posing questions to the batsman with my each delivery"

This posing questions goes on relentlessly through the plot-setting and at some point the  batsman loses the energy and focus and gets out!

An Amateur waits for things to happen!

An Expert makes things happen!

And if even things dont go their way - they keep plotting!

is there a lesson for us here? Let me know @mukundcs76@gmail.com

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
