a saga of

1

1# Think of problems as Opportunities:

Captain Russell's challenge to play a cricket match.

2# Put community before self :

Bhuvan did not dreamt for himself, he dreamt for

the good of his village folks.

3# Be determined in the face of opposition

Right from the start when the entirevillage opposes Bhuvan’s having taken up the challenge to the time when rest of his team has refuses to play because he wants to take in an untouchable in the team.

4# Small victories are important at the start:

Bhuvan hitting the ball first time in full public view and inculcating a feeling of participation among them

Building the team

Supporting the team members

Bhuvan backs his team members to the hilt , even when they make mistakes.

Lead from the front

Never give up…….that was Bhuvan’s winning

mantra. It enabled him to hit even the last ball of

the match also.

DEFINE THE ENEMY

In any case , having a clearly defined enemy works as a rallying point

For the team.

OVER CONFIDENCE DESTROYS

Never over estimate ONESELF…… &Never underestimate OTHERS.

TRAIN and PRACTICE

There is only one mantra :To be well trained and have good enough

practice is HARD WORK!

CELEBRATE SMALL VICTORIES

Small celebrations help in motivating and encouraging the team members

Never GIVE UP

The mantra helped Bhuvan…….. and trust me……..it always helps

Make best use of LIMITED RESOURCES

Focus should be on getting the work done not on the availability of resources.

It’s about TEAM SPIRIT

An average team filled with TEAM SPIRIT can overcome a group of talented , experienced but

UNDER MOTIVATED people.
