The momentous victory of Jammu and Kashmir in Ranji Trophy against the heavyweight Karnataka team has given thousands of reasons to celebrate and have a gala time for one and all in J&K but what is to be seen is the hard work and resilience of the players of the UT to achieve this feat for the first time in nearly 70 years of the struggle as exactly 67 years back the erstwhile J&K state’s team took part in this national tourney for the first time.
It is the time when the aspiring sports persons of J&K belonging to all fields of games should realize that success does not come with luck or chance. To achieve targets, regular practice, discipline, patience, and strong determination are the prerequisites. There are no shortcuts in sports because real success is built on hard work and continuous effort. The moments of enjoyment come after success in sports but the success requires persistent efforts and a strong mind to learn from every defeat and failure, and hone skills simultaneously to ultimately trounce the opponents and boil the ocean, like in the case of J&K’s Ranji players.
Talent itself is not enough to summit success, because only those who give stress on training consistently, learn from their mistakes, and stay focused on their goals are the ones who attain top slots in different games. Therefore one can say that every sports person should remain dedicated and must not get demoralized after facing initial defeats because these are the essential parts of the journey towards success.
All said and done, instead of looking for easy ways the players from J&K should face aforesaid challenges with courage and keep on improving their skills as hard work, honesty and perseverance are the true keys to success in sports. Thanks to J&K’s Ranji squad for teaching a significant lesson to the aspiring sports persons of the UT that persistent effort and enhancing skills steadily can bring revolutionary changes in sports and therefore sports persons must tread on this route without any exceptions as the same will lead them to glory and success.
The crux is that if a sportsperson keeps working hard and never gives up, he or she is likely to move closer to the dreams he or she wants to realize because in sports, there are truly no shortcuts to success.
Therefore, the people who really want J&K to keep shining in sports should wish the upcoming sportspersons to have virtues like consistency, dedication and hard work, because these are the things which are required to achieve the goal of sharing podiums of success at national and international arenas.
