Some people say sucess comes through luck , talent and strong background. But , we are surrounded by so many examples who have set their mark on world through devoution , constant hardwork and unshakeable focus . One of such example is Virat Kohli . The captain of Indian cricket team had seen many ups and down in his life. Here are 5 lessons we can learn from him -

1. Aim high - He says " I had always wanted to be top players in the world and I knew what It will take . " Don't strive to be average, but to be the best . Dream as big as you can and then work hard for it . Give it your best shot . He gives 120 percent everyday to his work and we all know what he has acheived now in all three formats .

2. Don't work for appreciation- In an interview our captain said"I never work for appreciation . When I am on the field I don't think about millions of people out there , I don't think about other 11 people on the field I just focus on the ball and try to hit it in the best direction. " Don't think about results and focus on your goals. Be detached from results . As someone said "Neeki kar , dariya mein pheek "

3. Fight through your breakthroughs- Virat Kohli once had a phase during international carrier where he was not in form and was criticized alot by everyone . He felt detachment from cricket . Also his father died before ranji trophy . But , he hitted back with more hard work . He says after my every bad phase , I struggled but I came back with more focus. Don't let your breakthroughs break you .

4. Keep challenging yourself - When he was 8 year old , he played with boys of under 15. Once he got injured on his chest . His mother asked him to play with his age group kids only . But he said kids of my age cannot challenge my strengths , let me play with elder ones . So , step out of comfort zone . Keep pushing.

5. Do what you love doing - Cricket was his passion . The motivation for working hard comes from within. If you don't feel good about what you are doing , you can't do that in long term . A voice should come from within saying " let's do this once more " .

These are few lessons , there is definitely much more to learn from him. Friends, no matter in which phase we are , we can achieve our goals . Just kick off laziness, keep learning and working and stay positive.
