Valuable quotes for Tigers

This is in response to the letter of Aminur Rahim, “Tips for our batsmen to avoid being trapped,” published in your esteemed daily on 24 October. I appreciate his valuable tips for our batsmen for the Test series against Zimbabwe.

Recently, former Indian president APJ Abdul Kalam visited Bangladesh on the occasion of 110th founding anniversary of MCCI. He met 700 students in a dialogue at Sonargaon Hotel and gave an inspirational speech, calling upon them to dream great and defeat failures. Please read the following quotes from the address, as this may give some guidelines to our cricketers:

"There will always be problems in life. Problems should not become your captain; rather you should become the captain of the problem, defeat the problem and succeed."

"Your dreams will be Bangladesh's dream, your thoughts will be Bangladesh's thoughts, and your actions will be Bangladesh's action."

Long live Bangladesh. Long live Bangladesh cricket.
