Regretting Something? Think Again...

To bash up my friend, to back answer my teacher… these are not regrets, these are Missed Opportunities. A regret is something you should have done in the past which would affect your present or your future, and should also be backed up by ethics. The two Missed Opportunities that I have mentioned have no ethical bearing.
My biggest regret is that I didn’t join the cricket academy in school per my mom’s instructions. Although I was very fond of cricket, I enjoyed playing tennis and I was good at the game. But I always wanted to be a professional cricketer and play for the Indian national team. Every time I picked up the bat to play there would be a rush of blood thorough my body. I was good at the game and this I realized it when I begun playing for my college team. I had learnt the game watching endless hours of my icon, Sachin Tendulkar at his best, and with net practice and fitness training I was sure to get better. I also realized that I was not only good at playing the game but also at the strategies of the game-the field settings, important decisions at the toss and team selections, etc.
But this I realized in college, when I was 18, and a little late to change career graphs from management to sports. None the less I still am an ardent cricket fan and also play the sport for my company and who knows with luck I might Get There!
