Focus

Williams sisters are in Wimbledon Finals, repeat, finals. There were 126 other girls . Alright. A good job done ...a lot of money to be earned..bravo. But...

These 'girls' are on stage for about last 20 years , give or take a year or two, and still make it to the finals where world's best are competing...This is what is so special....They are still not tired..they are still finding it worthwhile..they are still able to practice the same game ..keep the body fit..AND...most importantly..not get bored.

'Not getting bored ' is one thing which separates them from others of their ilk. Their mind is trained to not to rebel against practicing on and on...keeping the body disciplined...not to surrender to the other worldly temptations ..

Consider similar examples...Martina Navaratilova playing in Grand slam at the age of 46 , Marlyn Oooty running 100 meter-dash finals at her 7th Olympics at the age of 40... they are absolutely focussed on what they are doing, they enjoy it to the extent that no other 'enjoyment' is able to distract them...

Expert's Opinion - a perspective

You name it and you find a expert in that field..stock market..cricket..war..epidemic...All experts have one thing in common..they act like astrologers..they predict. But they also differ from astrologer..the experts predict based on past data..meaning all future performances are related to past performances..there can't be any surprises..while astrologer is exactly opposite..she predicts the surprises..

In a sense an expert says that nothing new can be done . You only have the option of choosing one of what has already been done.. If you choose to do something which hasn't been tried out, you are being foolish as probability of the action turning out to be successful is zero...and in experts' opinion it is a cardinal sin to do something whose expected value is zero.!!!

What does an astrologer say? Whatever has been your past, there is a strong hope that you fortunes might take a turn for better! Go ahead , take a plunge, your lucky days are ahead..

Tell me who sounds better...
