Football- A spring of thoughts

Hello readers

Hope you all are enjoying life.

You know the only sport which I used to follow was cricket until the IPL invaded this beautiful game and made into a horse trading rat race.

Recently I watched a game a football just passing by, but one Goal by Gareth Bale (a winger for Spanish club Real Madrid) just left me stunned, and I decided to follow this game, which I should have done long back.

Currently, through the round of sixteen of FIFA world cup 2018 in Russia, I have seen nail-biting competition, the best of emotions from the fans and also great patriotism from the players representing their countries.

When I watch each match every day since the beginning of the season, I started getting inspired by the devotion of the players and the strategies they use to outwit their opponents, either become successful or succumb to their plan. I have also observed the sportsmanship all the players show irrespective of the sides they are in is admirable.

What are lessons that we can learn from this famous game which is also called the world’s most played game?

We can learn the essence of real team spirit, the strength of working together and discharging specific duties in the most candid means possible.

If you imagine the spheroid as the means to achieve your goal, it passes through a lot of people some of them who are friends who will give the ball back to help you reach your goal, and others take it far away from you to achieve their goals.

So you can consider all the opponents as people in your lives who try to pull you down in all ways possible and try to withstand you in reaching your goal.

On the other side, you have your own teammates who help you passing your problems to them and then moving along with you always and helping you reach your desires and interests in life, and these people are your family, friends and well-wishers.

Defenders midfielders, forwards, wingers and finally the strikers, these picketers are vital people in your life who push you towards your objective.

And then….

GOAL! Well, you would have scored your first goal when you have eventually have gone through all of the people we have discussed.

Now think! When we think about games like football or any other team sport we feel very motivated if you try to analyse the reason for this, the joy of being liked and liking is a joy of a different kind.

Let your antagonist try to bring you down, but if you have a great team with you who are there for you at all phases, you will be the luckiest person on this earth.

Start building teams for better causes that would lead to achieving your team goals as well as your personal goals and also making this society a better place to live.

“Take someone who doesn't keep score,

who's not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing,

who has not the slightest interest even

in his own personality: he's free.”

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day.
