Optimism

In the midst of Recession, there are many instances, which clearly stand out & convey the feeling that everything is not lost & buried. Still, many are making fortunes, with their optimism and great craftmanship. One such example is IPL led by Lalit Modi. He created a magic formula of T-20 Cricket, which in its first leg, clicked like anything and roped in many corporate to buy Team franchises and many to sponsor each single activity. So, IPL became the household Indian entertainer, which overshadowed everyones expectations and ultimately benefitted Indian Cricket to such an extent that nowadays its very difficult to choose the playing eleven from the bench strength. It really pushed the Indian Cricket so much forward that the Ranking of Indian team soared with each passing day and ultimately they challenged the supremacy of Australia.

So, when the time came for second year IPL Championship, everything seems to be going negative, the world was in deep recession, no coroporate has inclination to pump in large amounts for advertisements and sponsorships and final blow came from none other than Indian Government officials, which refused to provide necessary security cover to the players and officials, citing the excuse of Lok Sabha Elections during the same period. During all these hoop-laa, great Lalit Modi never showed a sign of depression or negativity. His every word was positive and he clearly showed to all that optimism can work wonders anytime, anywhere. He adjusted the schedule to appease the govt officials but when they finally failed to accept the revised schedule, he simply walked out of India and staged a magnificent extravaganza at the beautiful land of South Africa. rest is history. Above all, this change of country and scheduling the matches were done in so short a time, that anyone can understand that he and his team might have not slept for many a days continously till everything is finalised. A marvelous job .. infact even after matches were scheduled in South Africa, many a people believed that this IPL will fail to bring in people to the stadium. But, now it is proved beyond doubt that Lalit Modi has to just touch anything to turn it into gold. he has power of strong believe in himself and he back those beliefs and act wisely based on those beliefs. His optimism can be taken as the ultimate example to learn, how to shape up any project in difficult times.

So, be optimistic and be open to adjust & learn from anything & everything, enjoy the game of Life!!!
