”...It was hurting me badly and it took me a long time to come to terms with these failures. I even contemplated moving away from the sport completely, as it seemed nothing was going my way,” 

 In his autobiography ‘Playing it My Way’, to be released worldwide on November 6,Sachin Tendulakar

 

"When you are talking about sports and how to make it accessible, then more and more powers should go the sports people when deciding things about sports in the country,I think that's the crux of it. Keep the politicians out of sports if you want to put it directly.The same applies to politics. If you want to change the politics in the country, give more and more power to young people, give more power to the common man and you change the politics,"

Rahul Gandhi  at the launch of 'National Youth Policy 2014' and 'Rajiv Gandhi Khel Abhiyan'
