It's Like a Soccer Match

I'm an avid soccer fan.
I play and watch the game of any team with no loyalty or psycho-fancy to any club,only my national team.
Nonetheless,I'm inclined to love teams which play tiki taka soccer and so your guess is as well as mine.
I'd first wish to console the fans of club that lost over the weekend.I'm still wondering what's happening to the 'big' clubs,they're thoroughly being punished by 'small' teams.

Business,Life and Soccer are synonymous:

Not that we are weak in any way.
Manchester United 8-2 Arsenal (EPL,28-08-11)
At times life can heftily punish us,not because we are in anyway weak but it just happens.Even after the defeat the esteem should always be high,knowing that it's not the end there is still another chance to try being the best.
 Let the mighty have their way.Germany 8-0 Saudi Arabia (World Cup 2002 ,June 1)
At times we have to let the mighty have their way.There is little we can do;they have the authority,they're are powerful,they have all the support from all over,poor us,but let's just give it a trial.

Everything is at stake here.
Man.city 3-2 Swansea(EPL,2011/2012)
Time is running out,it's extra time,Swansea are leading 2-1 by 91th minute,they are safe from relegation zone
We haven't won the title for 44yrs and with the massive investment made,wa,..4 minutes will determine alot.
There comes a time in our lives where situations pushes us to the edge and every minute turns out is critical.
Each opposing elements are heavily fighting for their well being.

At times it takes individual brilliance to do it
Barcelona 7-1 Bayern Leverkusen(Champions League 2012)
In this game Messi scored five goals of the seven.Likewise in business and life at times it is not all of us who will did it,someone actually turned out to be outstanding to achieve

It's never too late.
 Reading 5-7Arsenal (Carling Cup fourth round 2011) 
 How can one explain going down 4-0 by halftime then Arsenal reverses the whole situation and at the end of the game they win 7-5,It shows it's not over until it's over there is nothing unachievable as long as one believes and fights for it

At times all the forces work for us/against us.
Starting with the referee,the technical well being,the home fans and everything sails/becomes difficult

When not in the action you only theoretically analyze a situation
Soccer fans are the best advisers but it may even be most of them don't know how to kick a ball.
When  player whose team is on away ground,listens to the booing of the fans,it can demotivate them.
Just do your thing the best way you know how having applied the best of practices,the rest is noise ignore and move on.

Passion & talent can enable us achieve a lot
Soccer players are talented in that area.They play with passion to see their teams through victoriously.They can do anything possible for the sake of winning.

....
Have a 'soccerific' week.

Part I:Son..Daddy Loves You.

Son, When I was a young boy,before teenage,there were things I missed doing and enjoying,but as a statement goes,what you don't know doesn't hurt you.I  didn't know what I missed until I got a chance to be a little bit older  and realized,"That must have been a fun and adventurous activity". Well,I enjoyed the freedom of doing anything I wanted to do as long as I wasn't going to bring trouble to the parents.I liked this.Unfortunately there wasn't exposure to do much,as I can see now and long for,if I had a chance.I blame no one for this,but I have resolved to give the best to you. It's a pity to see how many rushed into starting families and they were not able to sustain them. Their end up causing pains to innocent children via divorce,separations and all manner of violence. I want the best environment for you,one that will expose you and help you explore all you potential As I wrote down this thoughts,I hadn't met your mum,I was still ...

Goodbye Employment

Image
There comes a time when you have to make a choice between the ideal reality and the real reality. Every day we make  choices that will make us who we will be tomorrow.In fact our today is as a result of our yesterday choices and it goes without saying that our tomorrow will be as a result of today's choices. Some times back in my 3rd year of study in Campus my room mate asked me why I'm studying.Without much thinking I told him,'I'm studying to make myself unemployable'.I hadn't understood what's all the fuss over with employment but I can now guess a few things being faced with such a situation of whether to look for a job or not.Employment is secure because at the end of the month one is assured of a salary to foot off the bills.Job gives one a higher social status.It also offers a career growth. Having gone through the curriculum,one is faced with several alternatives;Get into trying their hand in business by applying the skills they learnt,Get a j...

Gentlemen Need this...Ladies Require too.

Sometimes back the concept of tall,dark,rough and handsome was very popular among ladies,whereas the figure eight was the,'wa-wa-wa' among men.It was a narrow perspective towards hooking up with ones partner but times have changed.The celebrities were hailed and everyone wished they were their fiance',but we all know how their  lives are behind the scenes and we dread it.Men were the providers of the house,but we live in a world where your woman could be earning more than you and retrenchment is a common scenario.Emphasis on equality places us almost on the same level. The enormous question is where has the focus shifted too? Young informed people are no longer viewing life from a 1D perspective but rather,in fact,they are only limited by 3D,they could dissect their partners to-be even further.When we realize that life has more than what we can see and feel,we get critical and approach it from a  wider angle.The earlier we realize this the better. So what are we sup...
