In a
football match, there is a big board that shines and hangs far away from every
one, it is one that gives the progress report of the happenings on the field of
play, it shows the scores, substitution, timing of the match, and at the end of
the match it gloriously displays the WINNER! in relation to the mind, this board’s importance extends
beyond its literary function and this represents the crux of this article.
There
are different sets of people in the stadium most prominent are the spectators, the
officials and the footballers. Their gaze at the score board is one factor
that determines their relevance in the stadium.
The Spectators are the
largest set of people and could be described as the masses, their relevance to
the output of the match is extremely minimal, although they make the most
noise, they also benefit the least and gaze at the score board the MOST.
The Officials are the
smallest set of people in the game; they could be described as the
government of the game, their decisions influence the games and their
transparency or otherwise in turn have ADVERSE EFFECT on the outcome that is
showed on the score board. They do
not just gaze at the score board
THEY CARRY IT IN THEIR HEADS.
The Footballers are always
of specific numbers, they are the 1% on which the entire 99% lean on, without
them there can be no officials (government) or spectators (masses), their action
or inaction, their experience or inexperience, their tactics and models, their
intelligence and emotions ULTIMATELY DETERMINES the result on the score board. Their gazes at the score
board are MINIMAL, OF DEFINITE REASON, INTENTIONAL AND CAREFULLY TIMED.
In life the score board are the
cars, the house, the vacation and the luxury that you would like to get, like
the spectators (masses), do not fix gaze so much at it and then forget you have
a game to actually play, be like the footballers (the 1% that drives others) who
do all they do intentionally in order to achieve an expected end.
…the
score board will change to your favor as
you display your excellence on the field of play, so dis-play on the ground and
the scoreboard will display you high up above everyone in bright sparkles.
A nice illustration. this is a reminder that one should focus on being a better person, rather than focusing on transient things.
