I remember a time I was recommended for a project I had absolutely zero qualifications for.
There
I was, sitting at my boss’ office, looking at a screen with dozens of
unexciting lines in small print. Listening to what needed to be done. It
was just after lunch time.
As
he scrolled through a 50+ page pdf, he was saying something about
finding duplicate entries, verifying the rate charged, a weird thing
about Wednesdays —
— I had no idea what he was talking about.
When
I left, all I could tell — from the spreadsheets sent to my email — was
that thousands of lines of service charges needed to be verified for
accuracy. It was potentially costing the company thousands of dollars
per year.
Thousands of lines to verify.
Per week.
Indefinitely.
“Do you think you’ll have something ready by tomorrow?”
For some reason, I said: “Yes.”
At
this point, some of you might TL;DR the whole experience because you’d
know that a cross-utilization of MS Excel and Visual Basic could give a
rudimentary way of making this work.
But when I took the assignment? The fanciest trick I knew on Excel was to highlight.
By the next day, I had an automated system ready to go.
How?
To note, this is not the first time I’ve put myself in that situation.
At some point, somewhere, I learned that the most effective way to learn something quickly is to discover your reason to like it.
And
a reason to like it isn’t ‘Because my boss would find it impressive’ or
‘I could make more money if — ’. Neither of those are a direct
connection between you and what you need to learn.
I’m talking about a reason you could enjoy and appreciate it, even without recognition or priority.
This is not something that only some people can do because ‘You’re like that, I’m not.’
If
there’s one thing we all have control of when given a challenge, it’s
how we respond to it. I can choose to dislike the situation, or search
for the reason why it would be interesting.
Because, after all, there are people who already do find it interesting. So the question is:
Why?
Before even typing the first letter of a search to related to my immediate problem, that’s what I needed to know.
Going back to that day, at around 1 o’clock. I started looking for places where people love data. Trolling r/dataisbeautiful, I came across a random comment with the term ‘excel guru’.
When
you listen to someone talk about why they’re so passionate about
something, it can be infectious. When needing to learn something new,
you need to catch that bug.
After
some digging, I came across videos showing crazy problems involving
long lists of data, and people figuring out simplified solutions for
their unique problem.
One
of them made a passing comment about the history of it — searching
through repeated hours of tedious data, now possible in seconds. Now that is a life skill I’d want to have.
All the while, taking notes. Learning how to recognize the jargon. Identifying whatever pieces might apply to my situation:
Converting external files into spreadsheets? Yup. Pivot tables? Heck yes. Converting data into charts that are simpler to understand? Not really.
Anything on cross referencing? Uh oh… nope. At least, nothing specific to my problem.
It’s
4:30. Now, I could take this as a dead end, and accept that tomorrow
I’ll be completely cooked. Or, I can take this as a chance to add
something of my own and apply what I’m learning here —
—
fortunately, with excel, all you need to do is create the right
formula. And in excel, the formulas are open to interpretation.
And
that’s how, in hours, what started with highlighting skills & a
reddit troll ended with importing pdf spreadsheets > formatted data
> organization optimzation > convert to pivot table > repeat
for cross reference > highlight discrepancies > reconciliation tab
summary.
While
I went through that, I thought I might as well have YT autoplay in the
background, since something might stand out. At some point, I heard
something about ‘recording macros’. That seemed valuable enough to stop
for a moment —
— I’m glad I did. Because now, all this stuff could be automated.
Granted,
I did take this work home. But by the time it came to that point, I was
charged up with the infectious passion that people already had for this
kind of thing.
And
there was the added bonus of knowing that if this was done the right
way, a tedious task taking hours each week could end up being done
instantly.
It
wasn’t until midnight that I turned in. But I was comfortable enough to
get a good night’s sleep. What’s more, as my confidence grew, I was
able to take breaks from the effort while doing it, and also have dinner
with the fam.
A few more tweaks the next day, and 24 hours after yesterday’s meeting, I had an .xlsx file ready to go.
Thanks primarily to knowing that for anything, a reason to enjoy it can be found.
Looking
back, I was fortunate to be in a fast-paced environment that allowed
for opportunities like that. To be able to exercise the ‘find a reason
to like it’ skill.
I had people around me who trusted my little quirk, and found opportunities to give it a chance.
Data
crunching isn’t an example that would apply to everyone, but we’ve all
been in a place where we were stuck having to learn something, and our
initial response was to imagine how dreadful it’ll be, looking forward
to when we’ll finally be done.
But
in your own life, whatever the circumstance, know that when it comes to
figuring out anything new, there’s one thing you have control of. One
thing that takes out the stress, anxiety, and pressure that might come —
— and that’s discovering your own personal reason to enjoy it.
If you work continuously for long hours and do not take any kind of break, this can lead to health related problems.
Scientists have said that there is still a need to study more about the
continuous sitting and the most effective and practical way of reducing
the work. This information was given by Linda Ignace of Texas University in Rio Grande Valley in the United States.
Ianeyes said that the role of nurses is very important in spreading
awareness about the bad effect of staying on for a long time.
In a recent study, it has been found that there is a direct
relationship between working longer and fear of many serious diseases.
Some people have been claiming that they have been able to compensate
for this loss after exercising for a long time after exercising.
But according to the American Journal of Nursing, using any exercise
can not reduce the losses incurred by working for long periods of time. Staying in one place for more time will keep the heart at risk. The cause of death of 4% of the world's total deaths was only because they used to sit continuously for 3 to 4 hours in a day.
It can also be dangerous for a person to sit constantly, watch TV or
work for a long time on a computer or working on a sleeper soda. It is very harmful for health, which is also becoming deadly. If you work on a chair for 3 hours continuously due to 1 work, it can be dangerous for health.
Based on a recent research conducted in 54 countries around the world,
it is found that 3.8% of the world's deaths are due to sit on a
continuous chair for 3 hours or more.
This means that this study, which was recently created by the habit of
4.33 million people every year, was published in the American Journal of
Preventive Medicine, which was done by San Jorge University of Spain,
Zaragoza. In this study, the change in statistics between 2003 and 2011 was noticed in the Chair Effect.
Due to continuous sitting, most of the deaths occurred in European
countries, Middle Eastern countries, America and South Asian countries. The largest percentage in Lebanon is 11.6%, in the Netherlands 7.6% and Denmark in 6.9%.
It has also been mentioned in the study that, if we reduce the two-hour
time of continuous sitting, then it can reduce the risk of death for up
to three times. That is, this risk can be reduced by 2.3 percent.
It's a good thing if you even eat nuts and cummin every day. But do you know that if you eat peanut at night, then this is the most beneficial. If you consume just 10 grams of gram every night in the morning, it will save you from many diseases and diseases. At the same time health will be even better.
10 kushmish drunk at night
One of the best methods of eating kishmishh is to let it soak in water
at night and when the blooms in the morning it should be consumed as
well as kashmish water. Steeped cumin mushrooms are rich in iron, potassium, calcium, magnesium and fiber. In which the present sugar is natural, so it usually does not cause any harm. But Diabetes patients should not have a kashmish. Kishmish actually has dry grapes. These are present in many shades, but masalan golden, green and black. Apart from this, you can also use a hairdressing to improve the taste of many vegetables.
Resistance to fight disease will increase
By eating nightly cloves and drinking water, the body's immune system increases. Due to the presence of antioxidants, the immune system improves. Which enables the body to fight external viruses and bacteria, and these bacteria can not penetrate the body.
BP also remains normal
It is beneficial for everyone to get rid of the night, but it benefits
people who are disturbed by high blood pressure, hypertension. Kashmysh controls the body's blood pressure. The present potassium element prevents you from hypertension.
The blood in the body increases
Excessive use of acne helps prevent you from anemia because the hair follicle is a good source of iron. It also contains a good amount of vitamin B complex. All of these are useful in the formation of blood. Kishmish is very beneficial in the digestive system. The quantity of minerals is very high. This is very good for the bone. 10-12 whistles can be taken throughout the day. One thing to always keep in mind is that calorie intake is high in steeped kishmish. So keep in mind that it should not be taken in much quantity. Dieting is rested by regularly incorporating it into its diet. In fact, this is full of fiber.
The Best Way to Find It Might Be to Stop Looking for It.
A
few years ago, I got sick. Death was a real possibility — at one point,
I prepared for the worst. But after three weeks in the hospital, some
life-changing surgery and a whole load of morphine, I emerged — stick
thin, balding, and jaundiced, but alive.
My
response to this experience was rather cliched. The brevity of my
existence became sharply apparent. I cursed myself for wasting my youth
getting wasted and playing video games. At one point I may even have sworn to “live life to the fullest”. I was determined to discover my life’s purpose and meaning.
After all, we’re all supposed to have a purpose. Life is supposed to have a meaning, even if we don’t know what it is. Like Nietzsche said:
“He who has a why can bear almost any how.”
The trouble was, I was never sure what “meaning” meant. Douglas Adams perfectly captures this problem in The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
To find an answer to the “Ultimate Question”, an alien race build a
supercomputer. After working on the problem for 7.5 million years, the
computer offers the nonsensical solution “42”. You don’t understand the
answer, the computer suggests, because you never understood the
question.
The World Has No Plan For You
For
existentialists like Jean-Paul Sartre, the Ultimate Question of the
meaning of life has no fixed answer. Sartre sets out his concept of
meaninglessness in Existentialism is a Humanism. An object like a chair is created with intention — its purpose, to be sat on, is integrated into its design. Its essence precedes its existence.
Humans aren’t like this. If we begin with the proposition that there is
no God, then there’s nothing to suggest we are created with any purpose
in mind. Our existence precedes our essence — we are created first, and find purpose later.
So the meaning of a chair is something created to be sat on. What’s the meaning of me?
How can the world make use of me? The psychologist Paul TP Wong
approaches this question from the same starting point as Sartre but at a
more clinical angle. Wong calls his model of life purpose “PURE” — Purpose,
Understanding, Responsible Actions, and Enjoyment/Evaluation. Get these
four things nailed down, Wong says, and you can live a meaningful
existence.
The
first requirement of Wong’s PURE model is to find a purpose — choose a
life goal. When I recovered from my illness, I set about trying to find a
new vocation. I’d only ever held low-paid, low-status jobs before then;
none of which I’d really cared much about. So I started scrabbling
around for something resembling a purposeful career.
First
I thought I might be a social worker, but the training was impractical.
Then I decided that I was destined to become a teacher, but I failed
the initial application. Then I commenced my training as a therapist. I
tried to persuade myself that I’d finally found my calling.
Your Job Might Not Be Your Purpose
Psychiatrist
Viktor Frankl was a man who found a great deal of meaning through his
work — despite enduring some of the worst circumstances imaginable.
Separated from his family and imprisoned in Auschwitz, Frankl survived
the horrors of the Holocaust by maintaining a sense of purpose. Frankl
attributes his remarkable ability to cope with the concentration camp to
having found deep meaning in his work as a psychiatrist to his fellow
inmates.
In his book, Man’s Search for Meaning, Frankl says:
“Everyone
has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry
out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment.”
My
own work as a therapist, in incomparably easier circumstances than
Frankl’s, was engaging and highly rewarding. But somehow it didn’t
provide me with the meaningfulness that I craved. I yearned to be
successful at something, and being a therapist was the thing that I had
decided I would succeed at. This, I believed, would provide me with a
sense of purpose.
Looking
back, I believe that my method of finding meaning through work was a
naive approach to the problem. Frankl would certainly agree. He says
elsewhere in his book:
“Don’t aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it.”
If
I choose to derive my entire life’s purpose from my job, or from
success in my field, what will happen if I don’t succeed? If my purpose
in life is to climb mountains, what will happen if an accident renders
me unable to walk? There are stories of people who find a way to
succeed, even in seemingly impossible circumstances. But we don’t hear a
lot about those who fail, through no fault of their own.
If
you attach your sense of purposefulness to a particular set of material
circumstances, you’re in danger of losing all the meaning in your life
if those circumstances change. This is not a purely hypothetical
proposition. Rates of depression among the long-term unemployed are twice as high as those among people in work.
Meaning As a Feeling
How
would I have known when that search for meaning in my life was
complete? What would meaning look like once I’d found it? Meaningfulness
is such a broad and abstract concept. Is it actually possible to define
something so vague?
Albert
Camus believed that discovering or creating meaning in life is
impossible. All that we can do is find the things that make our lives
worth living — and what makes life worth living is a matter for each of
us. In his essay The Myth of Sisyphus, Camus
considers a man who is cursed by the gods to undertake a meaningless
task for eternity. Sisyphus must continually roll a stone up a hill.
Each time he reaches the top, the stone rolls back down and Sisyphus
must begin again. Sisyphus, once he has resigned himself to the
absurdity of his fate, can live this meaningless existence with
happiness and contentment.
I
eventually stopped trying to find a purpose by clambering around the
job market. That’s not to say I settled down — I’m now training as a
lawyer. Every time I’ve managed to get my stone to the top of my hill,
it’s rolled back down and I’ve started again.
The purpose of life isn’t to get the top of the hill and wait around until you die.
Confucian philosopher Tu Wei-Ming says:
“We can realize the ultimate meaning of life in ordinary human existence.”
Meaning
can come from some unexpected places. For me, it’s the feeling of
profundity that comes when I have a direct experience of life. This
feeling is not exclusive to extraordinary circumstances. It’s not only
found when skydiving over the Grand Canyon, or swimming with dolphins.
It can be provoked by something completely trivial.
I
remember first noticing this feeling when I was watching a group of
birds take off outside my apartment. It might come from drinking a cup
of coffee, or joking around with my wife. And purpose, too, can be felt
in the everyday — giving my daughter a bath. Cleaning the house.
Camus
might have laughed at the absurdity of calling this feeling “meaning”.
But sometimes everyday occurrences feel meaningful in their
significance.
You may imagine that your purpose waits for you at the top of the hill. But perhaps it will come to you on the way up.

એક સંશોધનના કહેવા મુજબ તમે જ્યારે ઇયરફોન

Extracting lifelong lessons from the world’s favorite sport
№10 is one of the most coveted jersey #’s in the game
With
an estimated 3.2 billion spectators tuning in to the last FIFA World
Cup, the sport has earned the right to be called a global phenomenon.
Now, with the next world cup just around the corner, I wanted to take a
moment to reflect on the invaluable life lessons I learned through
playing ‘the beautiful game.’
Those
who hate soccer (🇺🇸) see a bunch of grown men chasing down a ball -
but for those who cherish ‘the beautiful game,’ they see a test of
endurance, athleticism, emotions, and strategy in what I call ‘real-time
chess.’
Indeed,
fútbol is a nuanced sport, requiring physical and mental resilience,
spatial intelligence and the ability to think several steps ahead of
your opponent. Therefore, one’s play style is very much a window into
their psychological makeup — beyond how fast someone runs or how
accurately they can shoot, the decision-making and thought processes
behind their actions are largely rooted in their personality. To play
against someone then is equally a mental battle as it is a physical one.
Its
always interesting to see how everyone makes the worldwide game their
own on an individual, team and country-wide level. Typically the
Brazilian culture play with lots of flair, emphasizing dance-like
control over the ball, while Germans play technically and concisely,
with few redundant or unnecessary movements.
Ronaldinho casually performing his trademarked sorcery
Having
grown up with the sport, a ball at my feet feels like a natural
extension of my body, much like a paintbrush does for a painter, or a
vinyl for a DJ. As a kid, I modeled my play after Ronaldinho, who’s
command of the ball is arguably the best in the history of the sport. I
aspire to mimic just a fraction of the magic he produces.
Throughout
my time experimenting with different positions to find my natural fit,
I’ve learned a thing or two about the sport. These lessons not only
stuck with me as in my athletic development, but have actually poured
over into my career, personal life, and just about everything I do. So
without further ado, here are 10 Lessons Playing Soccer Taught Me About Life.
1. Strike with conviction
We’re
taught to shoot with our toes pointed downwards, running through the
ball with our laces and making sure to follow through with the motion.
The form has to be confident and composed.
To
go for (your) goal, you have to be true to your efforts; if you don’t
believe in yourself to hit the target, you never will. Its all about
timing, positioning, power, precision, finesse and form — things that
can easily take shape in any of your life’s endeavors and, if you’re
truly conscious of and use them effectively, will get you to hit more of
your goals through practice. Think of how and where these tips can
apply to your personal life.
Timing — what
tasks should I be prioritizing? When should I schedule my posts,
emails, meetings, interviews? When is the best time to do X, so that I
can achieve Y?
Positioning — am
I where I want to be right now? If not, how can I get there? If so,
where do I want to be next? Am I playing ‘off the ball?’ (see #2).
Power — how much passion and energy am I bringing to my work? Am I being aggressive or assertive?
Precision — how focused am I? Are all of my endeavors aligned? Am I channeling my power correctly?
Finesse — have
I paid attention to the details? Have I put in the minimum amount of
work needed to obtain the maximum result? (Think: 80/20 rule.)
Form — have I perfected areas in life that demand attention? Are the things I’m supposed to know like muscle-memory?

2. Play Smart Off the Ball
What
most people don’t realize about soccer is that the game is played
almost entirely off of the ball. With 22 players on the field, and the
ball at the feet of only one person at a time, the chances for any
individual to hold possession is low.
But
just because you don’t have the ball doesn’t mean you don’t have a job
to do. Positioning is critical for off the ball play, since you want to
make it easier for your teammates to progress up the pitch when they’re
met with resistance. It’s about optimizing your movements to put you in a
better position to receive a pass, play the ball out of danger, make an
assist or score a goal.
Real
Madrid displays its hallmark counter-attack style of play. Notice how
well the players positioned themselves by finding open space to help
move the ball forwards and find a scoring position
How are you playing off the ball?
If
you’re an athlete in general, you have to train at the gym, get enough
sleep and intake optimal nutrition to maintain a competitive advantage.
If you’re a blogger or musician, its not enough to create content, you
have to learn the ins and outs of social media and promote your work
effectively. If you’re a freelancer and just made your first sale,
‘follow through with the motion’ and reach out personally to make sure
they’re enjoying their purchase. If you’re a business owner, you can’t
just be good at the industry, you have to constantly network, crunch
numbers and do the rest of the *business* aspect of your business.
Learn
the ‘optionals’ and ‘nice to have’s’ of your trade to positively impact
the more immediate aspects of your work. The key is to allocate some of
your attention to the less obvious but equally as important tasks, even
if they seem indirect to your overall progress. Be well-rounded, and
commit to the same work ethic ‘off the field’ as you do on it to ensure
your progress.
3. Sometimes You Have to Move Backwards to go Forwards
Soccer
is predominantly a game about stealing space from opposition. The less
space your opponents have, the closer you are to their goal and the more
likely you’ll have a better shot on target. But in order to progress up
the field to get a chance at scoring, you first have to maintain
possession of the ball.
Sometimes
the best option is to take a step back and recalculate your plan. If
you’ve ever performed an exercise at the gym with the wrong form, you
first had to unlearn the improper form to approach the workout again
with the correct one. Sometimes when switching jobs you have to accept a
lower position to find yourself in better company and with more
opportunities. To turn bad habits into good ones, its easier to slowly
weed yourself off of the negative first instead of going for the
immediate swap and attempting a 0-to-100 overnight transformation.
Success
is never a consistently linear path with an upwards trajectory. If
you’ve ever felt like you’ve been moving backwards while conscientiously
trying to make progress, just know that moving backwards is a natural
progression of progress itself.
4. Develop Your Own Style
The
beauty of soccer is that no one body type excels over another. Unlike a
sport like basketball where you have a significant advantage the taller
you are, if you look at the elite soccer players, you won’t notice a
definitive body type that excels at the sport. Sure, it helps to be
stronger, faster, have more stamina, jump higher, but its ultimately how
you play the game and what you can contribute to the team more than it
is any one of the aforementioned traits.
Its
obvious that all players have their own unique makeup when it comes to
mental and physical attributes, which is why Messi and Ronaldo both
thrive despite their wildly different body types.
To
cultivate your own style, its important to first recognize your
strengths and weaknesses. This is of course easier said than done, since
people tend to severely overestimate abilities they’re confident in and
underestimate the ones they’re not. In the event that your ‘favorite
position’ (however that manifests in life) differs from your natural
fit, you’ll have to do some compromising either on your gifts or the
role you play.
Next,
you’re going to have to figure out how to channel your abilities
effectively. Any one skill doesn’t make a player — you have to
experiment and learn how to combine your unique traits to add your mark
and bring value in a way that’s bigger than the sum of your parts. This
is where the magic happens: in aligning the things you’re good at, you
won’t just be contributing enormous value, you’ll do it in a way that’s
uniquely your own.
Be
true to who you are and constantly work on refining what you’re good at
while counterbalancing what you’re not. Just make sure you’re doing
what you love and prefer rather than what comes easiest.
5. For Teams to Thrive, Chemistry Is Everything
Communication
is critical for any team across any discipline. There have been times
when various egomaniacal managers joined a new club and brought in five
new players for their upcoming season. While they splurged their team’s
funds on the best players money could buy, they somehow still ended up
fourth, fifth, sixth on the league table at the end of the season.
Although
the players themselves were world class talent, they had never played
together, and that reality revealed itself time and again on the pitch.
Lack of communication kept the team fragmented and therefore incapable
of making intelligent decisions in the attack, midfield nor defense.
Their mismatched movements and poor connection in the passing lost the
team possession of the ball — the very currency of the game — which many
times resulted in the ball finding the back of their own net.
It ultimately comes down to this: it’s not the team with sensational players, as much as it is the players with a sense of team.
Chemistry
is one of the most underrated facets of a team’s composition for what
its worth, yet it’s the single most critical factor of whether a team
will succeed. Everyone must be able to work fluidly with one another and
balance each other’s respective strengths and weaknesses to work
effectively as a unit. Trust, community and culture are therefore the
glue that holds a team together; without them, you’re just a collection
of individuals.
U.S.A Women’s team is often touted as the best in the world and its no wonder why, just look at that chemistry.
6. The Leader Isn’t Always the Best Player
There’s
a common misconception that the best player — or even the one that puts
in the most effort — should be the leader. They shouldn’t.
While
Messi is one of (if not) the best player in the world, he’s quite
silent on the field. Because sneakiness is one of his tactics, he relies
on his teammates to scope him out without having to shout or wave his
hands.
While
his contributions to Barcelona have been and continue to be
tremendous — he’s the club’s highest goal scorer and has brought them
countless trophies in the process — he shouldn’t be captain. Despite
having played for the club since childhood, Messi lacks the leadership
that other less-skilled players can offer the team.
Why?
While
leaders should strive to lead by example, mastering the specific skills
that placed them at the top of the totem pole, being good at what you
do is not enough. In fact, it’s not even the most important thing.
As
a leader, you have to be able to facilitate the chemistry of the team,
uniting it through inspiration and communication. Head chefs make sure
the kitchen is organized and running smoothly. CTO’s (chief technology
officer) translate the company’s vision for their engineers, as well as
the engineer’s work for the rest of the company. Film directors
orchestrate the actors to bring out their best for each scene.
While
the soccer player, head chef, CTO and director are all likely the best
in their respective field, it isn’t always the case. More important than
their own capabilities is how they empower others to express theirs. In
the end, the central function of leadership is to produce more leaders.
7. Play with the Goal in Mind
Sometimes
while going through the motions, you lose track of what you’re there to
do. Soccer makes for a particularly nice analogy here because it quite
literally shares the idea of ‘having goals.’
While
in sports the objective is more blatantly apparent, much like in life
you can often forget why you started something in the first place when
faced with more immediate obstacles to overcome. As fatigue sets in and
motivation withers, your ‘why’ has to be be larger than your excuses.
Don’t lose sight of the big picture. Hold yourself accountable.
Passing
and communication are important, just like dieting and business
meetings — but if they’re getting you nowhere then you need to start
changing things up. While we mentioned that progress is never linear in
#3, you’re still at the reigns of your own momentum. Breakthrough
opportunities are just that: breakthroughs. Before you can ‘strike with
conviction,’ you first have to know where the goal is.
Hone your sense of where the goal is. How far are you from hitting your target? What do you need to do to get a better shot?

8. Know Your Enemy
It pays to do your homework.
Who’s your competition? What are their weaknesses? What are their strengths? How do they go about their business?
Needless
to say, professional teams study their opponents well — long before
they shake hands and await the sound of the whistle.
Sometimes
when studying your opponents, you begin to understand yourself better
as well. Differences in philosophies can lead to new insights and
introspection that reveal why you think the way you do and how these
beliefs influence your own ‘style of play.’
Everyone
is playing the same game, but everyone plays it differently. What’s
really the difference between Uber, Lyft, Gett, Via, Juno and the rest
of the on-demand car rides?
While they all basically do the same thing, the way they do it
is unique. Beyond their branding (notice how they’re all starkly
different on that front), the companies seek to differentiate themselves
through key partnerships, pricing models, experiences and so forth.
At a glance, every soccer team is the same, just like every car-share service is the same. But if you take a closer look, you will spot some key differences that have likely emerged as a result of direct competition.
Knowing
your enemy is vital for survival as a person, company, family unit and
so forth. Its important to note though that your enemies may not always
be other people. Treat roadblocks as your enemies and really try to wrap
your head around what they are, why they’re happening and how you’re
going to fix the situation: in the worst case scenario, you come more
prepare. In the best, you’ll learn a thing or two about yourself in the
process.
9. Check to the ball
When
receiving a pass, watching the ball come to you simply won’t cut
it — you have to check to it. The art of receiving a pass is as nuanced
as making a pass; if you merely watch the ball roll closer to you,
someone else will inevitably snatch it before it ever gets to your feet.
Checking
to the ball is a lesser known skill in the game (and in life), but one
that will benefit anyone who learns it tremendously.
How do you check to the ball?
Be
the first one to introduce yourself in a new email thread or social
setting. Learn about the new people you’re going to be working with and
offer to help them with something specific. Approach new opportunities
assertively and really embrace them for the chances they present, don’t
be ‘afraid of the ball.’ Even if an impending moment for greatness seems
inevitable, check to it. Make sure you’re giving it the attention it
deserves long before the moments leading up to it, and do your best to
stay on top of it.
Checking
to the ball means you get to keep the ball. It means you now have more
opportunities, and you don’t have to drop to a defensive or reactive
state. Its just one more way to ensure your success in soccer and in
life.
Take a step towards the incoming ‘big thing’ in your life.
10. Be Patient
This
last one is easily observed; its really rather intuitive even to people
who don’t play soccer that the game requires endurance and patience. As
a low-scoring game, the value of each goal has tremendous implications
on the result of a match. Players must expend their energies effectively
to last the full 90 minutes, or else risk burning out in the early
stages of the game.
You’ve
likely already heard the saying that life is a marathon, not a sprint;
indeed truer words could not have been said. Pacing yourself requires
discipline, and discipline requires awareness.
Conscientiousness
is arguably the most important life skill, and it helps lead to better
self-management, introspection and the manifestation of your dreams and
desires. Trust in your abilities rather than your luck, and work
diligently to get to where you want to be. The biggest empires weren’t
built overnight, and neither were their star performers.
