7 principles of Virat Kohli that have been the biggest influence on my adult life

BEING HONEST TO YOURSELF AND YOUR ENDEAVOUR

I interpret being radically honest to yourself as acting in a manner that is consistent with your personal set of principles. I consider it a great disservice to yourself when your decisions are guided by the need to conform to society.

A prerequisite to being honest to yourself entails understanding yourself. Spending time reflecting in managed solitude has aided me remarkably in truly understanding what makes me tick.

I interpret being radically honest to your endeavour as being respectful of it. In addition to feeling a strong sense of attachment to it, this entails being willing to stick to your guns even when the early returns do not make for pretty reading. In other words, as a mark of respect to your endeavour, choose grit (passion + perseverance) over short-term greed. All in all, be true to your endeavour and your endeavour will be true to you.
