I have just read the first few pages of Steve Waugh's autobiography, 'Out of My Comfort Zone', and I already identify with it so much.
The self-doubts that the great man had when he started, the feeling of loneliness, the questions about do I belong here, whether I am good enough to do this, do I deserve this, bring him to a plane which makes one think that even these great men are human, and just like you and me.
I know now what he must have gone through at that time, when he started playing for his state and country, a new phase in life and new challenges, the apprehensions of going to do something that you have never done before but have always wanted to do, and have idolised people who have done it before. I am going through the same phase now, when I want to start my own venture, and I identify to the book so much. Gives a lot of comfort to know that even great men go through the same feelings just as we lesser mortals do.
Like he said in the book, one success and you are away, the confidence is there and you believe that you belong, and then everything else become easy.
Looking for that first milestone, and hoping that it comes soon.
