Now imagine this scene: You are standing at the sideline. You are watching your friends playing baseball. You see their motivation, the enthusiasm, the blink in their eyes, because these people love that game so much.
So you are thinking, you want that too. You want to do something with so much devotion, that you just forget everything around you. And there something strikes your mind: Professional kicker. You see it in front of your eyes, the time you were a child. And you and your dad you never missed a game on the TV and you watched your idols playing, that was so cool. There it is, the lost childhood dream: I want to play soccer.
Now with that childhood dream inside, off you go to the next specialized sports store. The sales clerk is very nice and he explains the most important things, and you just buy everything you really need. So with the complete uniform, from the tricot to the shoelaces, you start totally motivated. And stop…at this point exactly a lot of people do a fundamental mistake. Which one?
Well, very simple: As most of the people don’t really know anything about that new thing they are starting, and with all that motivation having their head in the clouds, don’t have the patience to get all the information they need, they just start running headless. They don’t know better, and go back to their friends on the baseball field. Do you start imagine, what comes now? So in your complete soccer uniform you come to the baseball field, as you want to show up in front of your friends.
First moment they are irritated, but then one thinks oh well, let’s give him a chance. And they throw the ball to you. You catch it and get irritated as well. Throwing the ball? Running around with the ball in my hands? I didn’t imagine it this way, it’s called soccer…well, maybe that’s normal in the beginning. Let’s give it a try.
But you want so much to run after the ball, you want to KICK it, you want to make hundreds of goals. That was the reason, you wanted to play soccer. And now you have to run around all the time, with the ball in your hand, and running away from the others. You run, you catch and throw, and run, and catch again until…you resign. You go away from the field, so frustrated. You didn’t imagine it to be this way. It doesn’t motivate you. And what are you doing now in the worst case? Right, you throw off your outfit, into the next corner and thinking by yourself: “Even for that I am too stupid.”
Oh, poor pitiable singular case. Oh, poor thing…STOOOOOPP!! Who is poor? Well, not you, it’s your spirit. Finally you got it, you got on the way to your destiny. And then it just went off to the wrong side. So please reward…until the point you finished at the store. So what is your next step?
Right, you have to get information about it. If the sales clerk can’t help, so go to the internet. Check out the regional newspapers, ask your friends and family. Until finally you find it, your soccer club. With the right coach. That one, who explains you the things important to you for the soccer, he will chase you all through the field, after the ball, he let you kicking the ball a hundred times, just until you get to kick the ball nicely into the goal. He screams, yells, he bosses you around. But you don’t care, you made it, finally. You’re there, you arrived. You are doing, what you always wanted to do. You play soccer…isn’t it beautiful, this life?
What I want to say with this? Well, if I am in a supermarket selling cheese, and someday decide, I want to sing, I shouldn’t ask the store manager for advice. And then wondering, why he is laughing at me. I have to get information, I have to search for a singing coach, and this one would train me. As long as I want to, as long as I make it. And then, smiling nicely coming back to that store as a big star and buying me the whole cheese…
So, think of it, what is your dream? Who can you turn to, seriously, who can help you with good advices?
