RE: Reward on investment

in Galenkp's Stuff6 months ago

Hi Galen, the first thing I'm going to do is thank you: thank you very much.

And now I go to the sport. The only sport in a formal way that I have practiced is Soccer. I federated when I was 13 or 14 years old and practiced it seriously for two years. In soccer it is a team sport, even if the media emphasize the individualities (Messi, Ronaldo,...) and you learn to work as a team. Teams work thanks to the automatisms that are acquired through work and effort. I believe that in this, team sports are an opportunity to learn to work as a team, including accepting secondary roles for the success of the team. Individual sports are also team sports, and I think you also learn the same thing: discipline, effort, perseverance and humility are the keys to achieving goals.

In bad times, sport is also a great teacher. When I was 17 years old, I quit soccer because of a knee injury. An operation and two years of physiotherapy could not fix what was broken. And a simple meniscus injury ended up being an ordeal of pain. And that was also an apprenticeship.

Have a great day

Thank me? For what? I'll take it no matter what it's for. 😁

You've said it rather well about sport I guess and I don't disagree at all. It's such a great teacher for many reasons and I think those who experience the ups and down of sport will develop better, more completely, than those who do not. These things can be gained elsewhere of course, but through sport is one of the best ways as it comes with other strong benefits as well (Health and fitness for two.)

Anyway, I've had a super long day. I drove for a client meeting a round trip of just under 800 kilometres and have come home to three hours of work on my laptop. I've just finished that and turned off the work laptop and, if I'm honest, I don't want to see another computer for the rest of the night. Lol.

I hope you're well.

I'm fine, today is a holiday in Madrid and I'm in Hive. I will be in front of the screen for a while.
Have a great end of the day.

Happy holiday!

Thank you very much!
