MS Dhoni - The Epitome of Humanity

     MS Dhoni in his press conference after world T20 final against Sri Lanka in 2014 said “There’s hardly any good or bad in Indian cricket that happens without my name”. His statement is absolutely true till date. He is the only man who can bring smile and the tears of happiness in the eyes of the cricketing fans by hitting that winning six in world cup 2011 and this same man will leave the people in tears by announcing the expected thing in the more unexpected way. The world will always have a huge admiration towards this kind of Self-made individuals or the so called internal individuals and that is what proved once again through this retirement from international cricket.

     The internet and social media are filled with the images, videos and interviews of Dhoni with hash tags such as “ Dhoni retires, End of the Era, Never retires from the hearts”. We tell that it is the shocking and unexpected news but does that really so much shocking. The answer will be an absolute no. Every cricketer and fans expected that Dhoni could announce his retirement but some of them had the desire to watch him play the T20 world cup. Apart from all this we know how unpredictable his decisions are.

     More than a cricketer he was loved by the people for this attitude, character and his simple but great philosophies towards life. He remains calm like a monk in both victory and defeat. More than the game of cricket he understood the game of life better which helped him to be the person who he is today. We always admire the legends from all walks of life but admiration will never take us anywhere so learn the best qualities from them. The three things which everyone should learn from Dhoni is

1.      Never take success to your heart and never take failures to your head because both will spoil your peace of mind.

2.      Think hundred times before you take a decision but once that decision is taken, stand by it as one man.

3.      Be kind and carry a smile on your face irrespective of all the odds you face in your life.
