TIPS FOR SUCCESS: The former Indian captain and Chairman, National Cricket Selection Committee, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, speaking at the inauguration of the The Hindu Business Line Club for the academic year 2010-11 at the GRD Institute of Management in Coimbatore on Friday (23-Oct-2010). Seated (from left) are Ms. Geetha Padmanabhan, Secretary, Dr.GRD College of Science and Mr.G.Ramprasad, Chief Executive Officer, Tata Teleservices.

The former Indian captain told the management students that to earn name, fame and money in life they needed, among other things, to have confidence in themselves. And his tips are,

Self believe
“If you don’t believe in yourself, don’t expect others to repose faith in you. And, without self-confidence, talent, ability or any other positive attribute would not count.”

Work with passion
The second most important thing was putting heart and soul into the job taken. Or, in other words, working with passion.

Positive approach
“Engage life with a positive approach, like playing front foot. Never play back foot in life, which is a mental game.”

Think through the heart
He said the fourth important aspect to succeed in life was to think through the heart. Thinking through the mind would not help, as the mind could never arrive at a decision. It was always 50-50. Think through the heart and that’s the way to success. “The heart or conscience is connected to God, who can never fail.”

Innovate for success
The next important point was to keep innovating. “Unless you innovate, you will never succeed, especially in this fast-changing world.”
