As a life-long sports nut here is the first thing you learn...perseverance! Doesn't your team always seem to have more trouble to overcome? Aren't your players always overcoming horrible injuries? Isn't your owner the worst?
Sempre,sempre,sempre! And yet we are always there, cheering.
Gallows humor aside, sports does teach us several things including perseverance. Discernment is one. You need to be able to pick the right player, the right moment, the right move...you have to choose quickly and correctly. Otherwise...you lose!
Cooperation is another learned trait. Every person thinks the sun revolves around them...it begins at birth. You need to unthink that one because it isn't true and everything in life will be easier for you once you understand and believe that simple fact. Most tight knit teams will win over more talented teams. Exceptions occur. IF the talented team is also tight knit they will be almost invincible!
How to compete. No one wins every time. Learning to use discernment and perseverance plus a big addition of talent will let you be in the fight to the end. Life is the sport that each of us HAS to compete in. Choosing the wrong battle or trying to do it alone will pretty much confine you to being a loser. Try to find the game you enjoy. Some pay better, but if you hate it you will still end up losing. If nothing else a part of yourself.
Go Sox! Go Pats!
This is my on line "Collector's Cabinet". It is non-profit and haphazard at best. I leave it to you to sort through and make sense of.The views are mine. The collection reflects some of my interests. But the material must be credited to the vast internet. Otherwise, I never would have been able to amass such a treasure trove. The purpose of this exercise is entertainment, naturally mine, but even more so yours. So, please let me know if anything strikes a chord with you.
