Life Lessons Learnt From Last Night's Mundial Humiliaçion by markjac01: 12:12pm On Jul 09, 2014
Last night witnessed a strange act
in the history of world football as
the Germans shocked the Brazilian
team with a whooping 7-1 defeat.
We all laughed about this
unprecedented defeat, but as I
thought about it, there are lessons
to be learnt. Here are few:
1. The Indispensable One
There is no gain saying the fact
that the absence of the Brazilian
Striker, Neymar contributed hugely
to their gross loss. This dude had
become their god to the extent that
the spectators chant his name
whenever he's on the field.
Lesson:
If you are one of those who trust in
man SO much for help, there may
be a time they won't be able to
help you. Not because they don't
want to, but probably because it
was beyond their reach.
If you are an Entrepreneur, NEVER
build your business around 1 staff,
no matter how good or dedicated
he/she is. His or her exit may mark
the beginning of the end of your
business.
2. Success is sweet!
I was dazed when I saw Manuel's
countenance (the German Keeper)
after he conceded a goal even
though they'd scored 7! He was
angry. He'd wanted to keep a clean
record! He's FIFA's #1 Goal Keeper
in the tournament.
Lesson:
You must never be satisfied with
the status quo. No matter what
you've achieved, always thirst for
more.
3. Thankful Attitude
More surprising to me was when I
saw David Luiz (who captained the
Brazilian team) when he went on
his knees giving thanks to God
immediately the final whistle was
blown. I've never seen such before!
Lesson:
No matter what loss you have
suffered or suffering, never cease to
thank God. The Bible admonishes
us to "give thanks always". Luiz
was an inspiration to me last
night.
