GOAL

GOAL

The ultimate aim of any football match is putting the ball at the back of the net. Doing this is never an easy task, as you will have to face an even match in number of opposing players. Both teams always consist of eleven players each, one of which will be charged with the responsibility of protecting the goal post with everything he has got. The team that scores the most number of goals is the winner of the match, and if both teams score same numbers or no goal at all, it is called a draw, or a tie.

Life is like a football match, to score a goal you have to wiggle your way through different obstacles and opposition. Life will certainly score some goals against you, but to win, you must outscore life. You can't win the match against life all by yourself, that is why everyone needs someone they can trust, someone they can work with, in fact, everyone needs a team to win the battle of life.

Sometimes, the goals you set becomes almost impossible to achieve, the opposition is tougher than you expect, and it seems there is no way you can beat it. It is not enough to make you quit, rather it should make you become determined to be better, stronger and wiser to face the challenges.

"When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached..." Confucius said, "...don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps." The process to the goal, the actions steps, are the most important, the goal is just an end result. You can adjust the process to the goal, but don't shift the goal post, do not adjust the GOAL.
