Dearest Darling Friends,

What were you doing when you were 14? Vaibhav Suryavanshi was taking on the best bowlers in the world, without blinking an eye lid.

Last night, we witnessed a spectacular century in the IPL by this once in a life time talent, 14 year young, Vaibhav Suryavanshi!

What an incredible display of talent, focus, and sheer determination!

It got me thinking about how his innings perfectly mirrors the core of our signature program “Lets Explore”.

(We started our Batch 153 last evening. Wohoo)

In Let’s Explore, we believe that to truly get the best out of life, you need to get the best out of three key things:

1. Get the best out of Yourself:

Vaibhav’s century wasn’t just about hitting the ball. It was about practice, discipline, sacrifices, sheer hard work, and believing in his own potential.

He did not feel underwhelmed because he is so young. He did not feel overwhelmed by the super experience of the bowlers with incredible achievements to their credit.

He dug deep, moved into his zen zone, took apart the bowler’s craftiest balls, and unleashed his inner champion.

2. Get the best out of People:

No one achieves greatness alone. Vaibhav had the support of his fellow opener (Yashashvi Jaiswal) who kept motivating him, his coaches (including the great Rahul Dravid), and the roaring crowd behind him.

Life, like cricket, is a team sport. It makes so much sense to surround yourself with people who believe in you, challenge you, and celebrate your victories.

And when our turn comes, it is so fulfilling to be that person for others!

3. Get the best out of Opportunities:

Every ball in cricket is an opportunity. Vaibhav seized his moment, turning pressure into power.

Life throws opportunities at us all the time, sometimes disguised as challenges. Champions are ready to recognize them, embrace them, and make the most of them.

In the words of Vaibhav, all he did was play ‘fearlessly’. Isn’t that an essential ingredient to get the best out of opportunities? What do you say?

Vaibhav’s innings was a masterclass in all the above three key aspects of life. He showed us that with self-belief, teamwork, and the courage to seize opportunities, anything is possible.

It’s a reminder that we all have the potential to hit our own “centuries” in life, whatever those may be.

I am sure 1000s of people across the world are taking inspiration from his incredible performance.

The game of life is on. Time for us to play our best innings?

What’s one “opportunity ball” you’re going to swing at this week?
