7 principles of Virat Kohli that have been the biggest influence on my adult life

"YOU EITHER WIN OR YOU LEARN"

There is no concept that I find more liberating than "you either win or you learn". This simple yet elegantly profound notion takes the pressure off you. It gives you the license to explore more, be curious, be experimentative.

I would have never thought I'd be devoting time towards building my blogging platform one day. However, by breaking the shackles, the aforementioned principle has enhanced my propensity to take calculated risks. It has instilled in me the belief that regardless of how much/little sense my endeavour makes on paper to others, the dots will connect going forward.

The concept has parallels to the old aphorism "learn to fail or fail to learn". Ray Dalio also sums this up beautifully:

The “pain of failure” should lead to reflection, from which your wisdom derives.

I really believe in the concept of, "you either win or you learn". We fought hard and gave it our all but one thing is for sure, next season we definitely will bounce back stronger than ever with our learnings from this season. Take care. @RCBTweets #RCB #IPL2018 pic.twitter.com/b0QM9chRAN
