Siddhu bats out some gyaan
Cricketer-turned-MP Navjot Singh Siddhu waxes eloquent (as only he can) on the youth and how to whip them into shape On his success… Siddhuism: There is an odour of perspiration from every successful human being We tend to set very alluring goals but pay no attention to the means of achieving them. In my case, whatever I did was with a single-minded focus — I played cricket for 25 years and then branched into different careers. I have always maintained my ultimate goal was to make mankind happy. On dealing with brickbats… Siddhuism: Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul I did commentary for 4 years. I refused to be part of the herd, the 201st in a long line of the 200 who went before me. I tried something different. My goal was to entertain people. My commentary career might not have worked but I took a risk at being original and I went down like Navjot Singh Siddhu! On tackling politics… Siddhuism: It is better to be a positive something than a negative nothing Politics is my mission not my profession. I hope to effect positive changes especially amongst the youth through my political career. I want to restore the people's faith in politics and disband the image that all politicians are fat, ugly and corrupt. I realise I also need to earn my bread and butter, so for 15 days I earn my living and the other 15 I'm in my constituency, working for my people. On being nominated As an MTV youth icon… Siddhuism: The biggest room in the world is the room for improvement I really shouldn't be assessing what qualities I have to deserve this nomination. All I will say is that I have tried my level best to be brutally honest and truthful all my life. It was a huge surprise and honour for me to be nominated and told that my words are inspirational. |
