Sachin must have got vexed up with questions like - "What are you made of ?", "Still howmany days you'd play" and so on.... I sometimes think why on earth is Sachin playing cricket for so long time. Is he insane, he could have given opportunities to many cricketers. Whats great in achieving records ? Its just like me playing the same EA sports cricket-07 whenever I get time. Playing the same shots, facing the same bowlers, playing on the same pitches and repeating the same shots and scores.
But Sachin has now become an exception, he answers every time... ask these questions to someone like Saurav or Dravid. Though everybody is exceptionally well in their their own styles, this passage is all about Sachin tendulkar.
Most of the worlds batsmen show their class. Sachin show the path to live.He just tells u - "concentrate","fight","survive","take responsibility"... whatever u grasp from his temperament on the pitch !
Its not so surprising that he has influenced so many people... so many people that - a student who aims for a good career pastes the newspaper article of Sachin making 12000 runs !.. so influencing that the influenced ones established a religion called Sachinism (http://www.sachinism.com).
The 10 commandments of Sachinism are as follows ! (Source : An article from www.sachinism.com)
1.COURAGE CONQUERS FEAR--- Believe in yourself , You can do better than what others expect from you , 75 + international hundreds wernt dreamt off a decade ago .
2.READ ,ANALYZE ACT ---Its important to have a plan B. SOmetimes things dont go as planned ,analyze the situation before reacting to it , like every wicket is not a 300+ wicket similarly every war cant be won .
3.KEEP THE FIRE BURNING--- No matter what height you reach , sky doesnt have a limit , there's always scope for improvement ........remember ur as good as your last Inning .
4. A TREE WITHOUT ROOTS IS JUST A DEAD PIECE OF WOOD --- Keep your feet firmly rooted to the ground , its easy to get carried away by success, greats dont let it get to their head .
5. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS --- Keep ur tongue where it belongs (firmly in ur cheek) , your acts can make people look at the mirror and introspect .....harsh words merely reflect frustration .
6.TOUGH TIMES DONT LAST, TOUGH PEOPLE DO ---- There are highs and lows in everyone life , You have to be strong when the time demands it .
7. KEEP IT SIMPLE ---- The simpler you are , the lesser are your chances of messing up , Style fades away , simplicity is always in vogue .
8. TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY ----Take the responsibility and act accordingly , 91 in 190 odd balls can make you look very very ordinary , but if it helps in the bigger objective(Winning) than its worth it .
9.BE PATIENT --- Rome was not built in a day , 26k runs were not made in a single series , when it took 18 years for Sach to achieve all this , what makes you think you can make a difference in a day, week, month or year .
10.KEEP ON MOVING ---Failure is a part of life ,and like success you shouldn't allow this to effect you either , one chance, one, year , one choce , one world cup .................it doesnt mean the end of the world ....

Hope people stop being obsessed treating Sachin as God and live upto what Sachin is for cricket ! I wish to meet Sachin one day and decide that hes shorter than me !!
