5 life lessons we can all learn from Sachin Tendulkar

#1 Ability to bounce back stronger

A sportsman, who plays for such a long time, has had to bounce back post a failure time and again. However, it is a far bigger ask when that needs to be done towards the end of one's career. That is why, Tendulkar's remarkable fightback after the low points of the period between 2006 and 2007, is one of the great life lessons from his career.

After suffering from tennis elbow, his career was on the line but after fighting back from it and getting back into the Indian team, his form suffered. There were disparaging news stories doing the rounds, headlined 'Endulkar', but eventually he fought back and scored numerous centuries from 2007 till the end of his career in 2013. In addition to that, he scored two centuries in India's triumphant 2011 World Cup campaign and was a vital member of the team that went on to become World Number 1 in Tests under Dhoni.

His comeback was simply fabulous and the fact that he did not give in to despair at the lowest point of his career if a lesson in itself.
