Hard work, Success, Luck

Well good morning friends. Today I am here to talk about the three basic topics but the most important ones in one's life. They are hard work, success and luck. In short all the three topics are related to each other.

THERE ARE THREE SENTENCES FOR GETTING SUCCESS:

-KNOW MORE THAN OTHERS

-WORK MORE THAN OTHERS

-EXPECT LESS THAN OTHERS

-WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

We all dream of walking up to our future employer and saying "Show me the money." The trouble is, you'd better be ready for your employer to say, "Show me your grades." Because these days, if you don't have a good education, the only thing you'll be shown is the door. Don't let your dreams stay only dreams. Take steps to make them a reality. There are many instances when we hear people telling that a following person is born with brains or is god gifted, in fact that's a big lie. It's nice to believe that if you find the field where you're naturally gifted, you'll be great from day one, but it doesn't happen. There's no evidence of high-level performance without experience or practice. The best people in any field are those who devote the most hours to what the researchers call "deliberate practice." Vladimir Horowitz supposedly said, "If I don't practice for a day, I know it. If I don't practice for two days, my wife knows it. If I don't practice for three days, the world knows it." He was certainly a demon practicer, but the same quote has been attributed to world-class musicians like Ignacio Paderewski and Lucia no Pavarotti. It is obviously that the consequence of one's persistence, diligence and tenacity gives him success in his work and life.

 

On the other hand, we know many famous people around the world, such as Bill Gates, Henry Ford and Marylyn Monroe, who achieved great success because of their hard working and tenacity for their goals. Can we say that their success is being only luck? On contrast, luck sometimes gives us success. The notion of success holds different meaning of different people or group. Actually, many propose that possessing of abundance of money imply success. If the man, who has never been played lottery before, wins the millions of dollars in his first game, it would be considered that luck helps him. In this case, luck helps to achieve in success. But the luck is not same for everyone.

The only thing that overcomes hard luck is hard work.

So friends to conclude I would like to say

Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.

There is no substitute to hard work. In the end only hard work matters not luck or something else. So friends work hard so that we all come out with flying colors in our upcoming board exams. Hope that this particular speech was a source of motivation to all of you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

All about Duckworth-Lewis method

A number of one-day international matches played in the ongoing Commonwealth Bank series suffered the wrath of bad weather. While the first two ties ended up being completely washed out by incessant rain, a few of the other rain shortened games had to be decided by the Duckworth-Lewis method.

While most of the cricket lovers may have heard the term (Duckworth-Lewis), not many might be thoroughly acquaint with the working of this rather complex system. If you too have ever been perplexed by something called the Duckworth-Lewis method (D/L method), then this piece of article may just be the thing that will answer all your queries.

The basics first Duckworth-Lewis method is a mathematical way of calculating the winning target for the team batting second in a rain affected one-day or Twenty20 international cricket match. Considered to be one of the most accurate ways of calculating the target score, the Duckworth-Lewis method attempts to predict what would have actually happened in a game had it gone through its full course without any interruption. The method was designed taking into account the number of overs a team has as well as the wickets in hand. Both these resources have been known to have a close relation with the number of runs a team scores from any point in the innings. D/L makes use of a table to predict the result of a rain shortened game. Ex – In the CB series one day international match played between Sri Lanka and India at Canberra, India batted first and posted a total of 195 runs off 29 overs (the match started late because of heavy rain, reducing the game to 29 overs a side). With another 9 overs lost due to rain, Sri Lanka came in to bat with the target reduced to 154 runs off 21 overs. The target, in this case was calculated considering a possible situation where India only had 21 overs to bat. Besides being a relatively simple method to apply, Duckworth-Lewis is also known to provoke a good deal of discussion and debate on the cricket ground, which often adds a bit of spark to a dragging, rain affected game. When applied in a 50 over match, each team is required to face at least 20 overs for a match to be considered complete while the number of overs needed to complete a Twenty20 match is 5 per innings. From the pages of history Named after English statisticians, Frank Duckworth and Tony Lewis, the method was first used in international cricket during the 1996/7 season in a one day match played between England and Zimbabwe. Subsequently, in 2001, it was adopted by the ICC as the standard method for deciding the result of a rain shortened match. Having undergone several modifications since then, D/L has been used as a successful method to decide the result of rain shortened games.
