The Economic Times publishes a quote of the day from tennis star Maria Sharapova: 'When I make a commitment I stick to it.' The article argues that consistency, not momentary motivation, builds trust with others and self-confidence. It says true commitment means acting even when progress feels slow, and distinguishes healthy commitment from stubborn refusal to change. The piece cites examples from sport, business and education to show that achievement comes from repeated small actions over time.
The piece romanticises willpower as if life's obstacles are only internal. It ignores that many Indians face systemic hurdles, poverty, discrimination, lack of access, where no amount of sticking to a goal can overcome. Commitment matters, but so do opportunity and safety. The true test: how many who read this can afford to fail repeatedly before their commitment is rewarded?
