Journalism of Courage
In the freezing cold of North India, it can be really hard to start a work day on a Monday. In a bid to motivate his 10.2 million Twitter followers, business tycoon Anand Mahindra shared a clip from a football match that showcased the physics-defying skills of professional athletes.
The video taken from a match from the Dutch Eredivisie, the Netherlands football league, shows an impossible goal. While sharing the clip, Mahindra wrote, “Don’t ever hesitate in taking a calculated risk… the result may surprise you. #MondayMotivation”.
So far, the video he shared has over one lakh views, over 6,000 likes, and hundreds of retweets.
Commenting on it, a Twitter user wrote, “What looks so easy.. so natural.. would have taken years to practice! Much more than physical effort.. player would have played in his mind this shot.. a million times! “Anything that strikes you new out in the world.. is old in mind at least a million times.” #OriginalQuote”.
Another person said, “Well Said To become a better you, dare to take calculated risks and overcome your limitations. Your scars can make you a star, but you have to decide…”
In December last year, Mahindra shared a similar message on the importance of taking risks when he shared a quote, that said, “Risk is the downpayment on success”.
