Life is not about money; it's more about happiness: Yuvraj

It wasn't about cricket anymore, it was his "Journey back to Life" as Lance Armstrong would tell you.

"My thoughts have changed. I became popular because of the game, had fame and money and everything in life. Now, it's the presence of my family and friends that's the most important thing. Money is important but more important is happiness and staying healthy," Yuvraj said in a pragmatic tone, answering to a query whether his philosophy of life has changed.

The battle against cancer has taught him that there is more to life than scoring runs.

"Earlier, I would think about scoring runs, taking catches, would bother about what you guys would write. Now when I would make a comeback, all these things won't matter. I would play with less stress," he said.

Someone asked if he would ask God why he was in the current situation, the answer came in a flash, "Did I ask God why he chose me to be the Player of the Tournament (of the World Cup)? Then...."

Lance Armstrong's book "It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life" has been a best selling motivational book and Yuvraj has started penning down his own thoughts too.

"I will certainly write a book. I have been writing and penning down my thoughts. My book will certainly come out one day and will help motivate people and make them think positively." MORE PTI KHS PDS
