Story: He was just 16. Small in frame, big in heart.
When Sachin Tendulkar walked out to face Pakistan in his debut Test match in 1989, he wasn’t facing just bowlers — he was facing Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis, and a storm of doubt. People said he was too young. Too fragile. Too early.
But Sachin didn’t listen to the noise. He had a dream bigger than fear.
He got hit. He bled. But he didn’t walk off. He stood up again, tightened his gloves, and kept playing. Because for him, it wasn’t just a game. It was the first page of a dream he’d been chasing since he picked up a bat at five years old.
Over the next two decades, he carried the hopes of a billion people, shattered records, and in 2011, lifted the World Cup on home soil — the dream he had held since childhood.
That day, as tears welled up in his eyes, he said:
“It’s the proudest moment of my life. This is for every Indian.”
đź’ˇ Lesson of the Day
Dreams aren’t meant to stay in your sleep. They’re meant to be chased — with discipline, pain, and love.
Because yes, dreams do come true.
