The general idea about the government officials of Bangladesh is that they are slow, corrupt and just love harassing the commoners. Whether they are bankers, police officers or officers in a secretariat, they process things so slowly that people in most cases would prefer not going to them at all. It is reality that common people do not like government officials in general.
On the other hand, the cricketers of Bangladesh are definitely the most loved bunch in the country. In this country of scarcity, unnecessary chaos and ridiculous traffic jam, the cricketers are the only ones who bring fresh breezes of joy among the people every now and then. Their dedication, determination, hard work and patriotism are unparallel. Here are some qualities of the cricketers that the government officials of Bangladesh can certainly pick up:
Industrious
The cricketers are constantly training themselves to get better. Even if they are not involved in a series or a tournament, they still keep working hard to sharpen their abilities. All government officials should be industrious and can take a page out of their book and actually try to improve their skills in their respective jobs.
Dedication
During an ongoing match, a cricketer never decides to take a leave for the day just because he does not feel like playing. Once they enter the field, they see it through the end no matter what. Just the other day 22 year old Mominul Haque batted for almost six hours in a test match even though he had a high fever. He knew his teammates and countrymen needed him at the pitch and he delivered. This shows how dedicated they are to their work. That is something that cannot be said about government officials. Government officials should learn to show true dedication from the cricketers.
Ability to handle pressure
Bangladeshi cricketers’ ability to handle pressure is exemplary. They fight against the opponent surrounded by tens of thousands of supporters but always keep their nerves strong. It usually does not take more than a bad match to turn all the love they receive from the fans into hate. Even during those bad situations they keep their minds cool and work harder to make up for that bad match. The most noticeable thing is, they never blame the media or the supporters for the criticism. On the other hand, government officials behave rudely with the commoners and stop working after the slightest criticism.
Smartness
Maybe not all are high educated but all of the cricketers are much smarter than government officials. When facing the media, they speak with dignity and refrain themselves from making stupid comments. One thing can be proudly said about the cricketers of Bangladesh is that they never dump their mistakes on their teammates or the opponents. They handle criticism smartly and accept their mistakes humbly. When travelling abroad they keep in mind that they are carrying the reputation of their nation and they stay on their best behavior. These attributes can certainly help the government run more smoothly.
Patriotism
This is the greatest quality of the cricketers. They always play for their country. Choosing between a million dollar IPL deal and the national team, they always opt for the national team. The cricketers find honor in playing for the country rather than just playing for money. They will never purposely lose a match no matter how much money they are offered. They realize that a portion of the fee they receive comes from the taxpayers and they try to return the favor graciously.
Undeniably some of the government officials are smart, efficient and very dedicated towards work. But most of them are lousy, slow and have ill-motives. If most of them had these qualities in them, the country could have been much more productive, people would have received better service and they also would have been a loved group of people in the country.
