I am a great fan of cricket. It is my favorite outdoor sport.

I never miss out any match innings and always capture the TV remote whenever there is some exciting match going on. I used to have a bad habit of leaving my studies in between as soon as I used to catch an eye of an exciting innings going on TV.

My mother used to scold me about this bad habit but I never considered her advice or her punishment. It was my first semester exams and I was as usual pretty over confident about making a good score this time too.

I was shocked to notice that my percentage dropped immensely and I felt ashamed. My father made me understand that there a number of importance of studies as well as games. He asked me to give ample to my studies. He also advised me to take a up a career in sports later. He wanted to have a great career in cricket. I considered his advice and divided my time accordingly.
