Have you ever asked Google a question?

Before even showing you the answer, it proudly declares:
"I’ve found about 20,520,000 responses to your query in just 0.65 seconds."

That fraction of a second is what we call server response time.

Google uses some of the world’s fastest Xeon servers running on advanced Linux web server systems. All it does is scan through available data, match it with your question, and neatly line up the most relevant results — all in half a second, sometimes less. And it never forgets to tell you:
"Here you go — found this in 650 milliseconds!"

Now let’s move from computer screens to cricket fields.

Imagine Shoaib Akhtar or Brett Lee steaming in to bowl.
The ball flies at 150 km/h. The pitch is 20.12 meters long.
That ball will reach the batsman in just 480 milliseconds.
But since the batsman stands about 19 meters from the bowler, the ball hits the danger zone in 450 milliseconds.

Now let’s suppose it’s a short-pitched delivery — a bouncer.
It hits the pitch halfway and rises sharply.
The batsman realizes it’s a head-high delivery… and decides to duck.

At that moment, he has just 225 milliseconds — a quarter of a second — to react.

And in this sliver of time — even less than a blink —
let’s explore what the human body does:

First, the eyes capture the image of the rising ball and project it onto the retina — upside down.
The brain corrects the image, understands that it’s a bouncer, and makes a snap decision:
"This shot is dangerous — don’t hit it. Duck!"

This decision travels through a network of 86 billion neurons.
Millions of those neurons now activate a process called proprioception — the body's way of mapping every muscle's position and tension.

Data from all 600+ muscles and millions of muscle fibers is sent to the brain.
It instantly calculates how to move —
which muscles to contract, which to relax,
how far, how fast, and in which direction.

Then come millions of electric signals rushing to upper motor neurons,
which pass the instructions down the spinal cord,
reaching lower motor neurons connected to every relevant muscle fiber.

At the final relay point, a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine is released,
activating each muscle fiber with the exact amount of tension required.

And that’s not all.

Once movement begins, the brain immediately receives sensory feedback:
“Is the body balanced?”
“Is posture correct?”

And if anything is off —
the brain adjusts posture instantly.
All this, repeated multiple times,
until the batsman is safely down,
avoiding a 150 km/h bullet.

And all of this — this glorious symphony of biology and physics —
takes place in less than 225 milliseconds.

But cricket isn’t the only arena where the human body performs at this astonishing level.

Take tennis, for instance.
A professional serve can travel over 130 mph (210 km/h), giving the receiver barely 400 milliseconds to react.
In that tiny window, the player must track the ball, calculate its spin and angle, position their body, and swing their racquet — all while staying balanced and anticipating the opponent’s next move.

Again, in less than half a second, the body processes millions of signals, repositions dozens of muscles, and executes a complex motion with astonishing precision.

By God, you truly have no idea what you are made of.
You are not merely human —
you are superhuman.

The finest creation of the Supreme Creator.
Designed in perfection. Built for greatness.

So understand your true worth.
Rise.
Channel your energies.
Break the chains of limitation.
And go claim the success that is already written in your share.

Believe this — you absolutely can.
