When
defenders & goalkeepers work so hard to ensure clean sheets, when
midfielders put in lots of effort to ensure balls are ready for delivery, when
wingers provide enough crosses and strikers/forwards make sure balls get at the
back of the net - the team wins.
It
applies in real life. Most people fail because there's no 'team-work'. There's
no one-man show, never happened in the history of man-kind. Anyway, what surprises me most isthat some of us are soccer fans but
don’t learn. We have goalkeepers and defenders in real life. These are the
people whom we all turn to whenever things go south.
We depend on them to
defend us or ensure we do not fall or fail. They may be in your family, circle
of friends or relatives. Some could also be in your office or area of
expertise. Trust them, they will definitely defend and ensure you get a clean
sheet in whatever project/activity you get involved in.
We
have midfielders and wingers in real life. Like the defenders, they are
available at home, school, work or in the community. They readily avail
resources for you to grab/embrace and use to your own advantage and progress.
These are support systems that are around.
We have people helping us with
finances, skills, connections, etc. Systems are in place to ensure we excel in
life at all angles - schools/learning institutions, business centers,
churches/mosques, etc. These midfielders and wingers in life ensure everything
is ready for you to score, get the three points and move up the table.
You
are the striker, you are the forward. The team will not win even if
defenders/goalkeepers record another clean sheet. Midfielders and wingers prepare everything
for you - yet you do not score. You are a striker/forward of your life. You are
a striker/forward of your own career. You are required to kick that final ball
in a fashionable way to ensure the victory. If it's a header, even better!
Remember, if you win, it's not only your victory, but your team's victory. From
now on, start thinking of your team members. Ask yourself: Who is my defender?
Who's my winger? Most importantly, appreciate everyone who kicked the ball
before you got that 'little beauty' on target. And most importantly, do not
ever lose the ball in your opponent's 18-yard box.
All the efforts and work put
in by others will be in vain. You will lose the game, lose your career and
definitely lose your life. Note
that you can also play different positions when things get tough, just like at times
you see Wayne Rooney defending. Another determinant is the formation of the
game, in this case the formation of your life and career.
You can play
different positions for someone else’s team/game. Remember, as others ensure
that you become a striker of your team, you too have a role of making them
strikers of their respective teams by being their defender, winger and
midfielder.
Now, STRIKE WHILE THE IRON
IS HOT!
That's
all for now folks!
