Each day is a lifetime in miniature
To awaken each morning is to be born again,
To fall asleep at night is to die to the day.
In between waking and sleeping are the golden hours of the day.
What we think we cannot do for a lifetime,we can do for a day.
Anyone can strive to be happy for a day
and to spread happiness around.
Anyone can rise above fear for a day
and meet each situation with courage.
Anyone can hold his temper for a day
and guard the words he speaks.
Anyone can remain honest for a day
and carry his burden heroically.
Anyone can count his blessings for a day
deciding not to look at half-empty but at half-filled glass.
Anyone can eschew hate and cruelty for a day
deciding to live and let live.
Live a day at a time and remember
that tomorrow is another today!

On being a team man
Let me tell you about the recent series when Lungi Ngidi made his debut against India. AB calls me aside, and asks me, “Can you please make a flattering motivational video about Ngidi. Keep it a suspense and put it on during team meeting to motivate the young guy.” So I do it. 20 minutes before the team meeting, AB rushes in. Somehow, he has managed to get hold of Ngidi’s friends, and has a video byte from Ngidi’s father, talking about how proud he is that his son is going to play for South Africa. Not only did he somehow scramble and got it done, and even apologised to me for the short-notice he was giving me to add it to the presentation. Just imagine the effect on a 20-year old youngster that a legend like AB is going to this level. That’s the sort of team man he is.
