If this story of Marvan Atapattu dosent motivate you, nothing might👇

Making his debut in Test cricket for Sri Lanka, Marvan scored a duck in his first innings & again, in his second innings.

They dropped him. So he went back to the nets for more practice. More first class cricket. More runs. Waiting for that elusive call.

And after 21 months, he got a second chance. This time, he tried harder. His scores: 0 in the first innings, 1 in the second. Dropped again, he went back to the grind & scored tonnes of runs in first class cricket. Runs that seemed inadequate to erase the painful memories of the Test failures.

Well, 17 months later, opportunity knocked yet again. Marvan got to bat in both innings of the Test. His scores: 0 & 0. Phew! Back to the grind. Would the selectors ever give him another chance? They said he lacked big-match temperament.

3 yrs later, he got another chance. This time, he made runs. He came good. And in an illustrious career thereafter, Marvan went on to score over 5000 runs for Sri Lanka. That included 16 centuries & 6 double hundreds & he went on to captain his country. All this despite taking over 6 years to score his second run in Test cricket.

How many of us can handle failure as well as he did? 6yrs of trying & failing. He must have been tempted to pursue another career. Change his sport perhaps. Play county cricket. Or, oh well, just give up. But he didn’t. And that made the difference.

The next time you are staring at possible failure or rejection, think of Marvan.

NEVER GIVE UP!
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.
