Character is the Foundation of Success

Always remember that anger destroys the player. Smile always at people and say thank you for what you have received even in the most irritating moments. Never look down upon others. Begin to practice the said points at home with your kith and kin, with your parents and people around you by being nice to them. Always be humble and treat your opponents and learned Umpires as your friends. Never give harsh words to anybody and never receive the same from others. Be honest. Listen and learn from the guides and coaches. Make instant corrections of yourself and your play in right spirit. See that the mistakes are not repeated. Be nice to the needy and help them. Train yourself to be a good person in addition to all your hard alert training. Remember always that all faults can be corrected in the supervision and instructions of guide and coach. V. Jagannatha Rao
