What happened finally is history but above all it brought into limelight a new potential captain for the Indian cricket team.

Look VS Outlook

Aren’t looks the biggest thing in life, particularly in adolescence? Not just an outward physical appearance; this really is about sounding right, seeming good, and appearing like the best at what we do, in the eyes of others. We care about how we look to others, and in the same light, we also possibly tend to see others based on how they appear to us (not how they really are).

Feel the fear and do it anyway!

Years ago, some scientists did an experiment on a bullfrog. They threw a bullfrog into a container of boiling water, and the bullfrog instantly popped out of the container. Then they put the bullfrog into a container of cold water. The bullfrog liked it and stayed in the container. The scientists then turned on the heat at the bottom of the container. As the water got warmer, the bullfrog relaxed and took a nap. The bullfrog was so comfortable that it stayed on in the container and was ‘cooked’.
