Life and football matches
Life is an integrated process which in some ways is similar to a football match.What we can find in a football match can all be found in the journey of life.
The coach is the lighthouse which leads the team to glorious victories.An intelligent and capable coach is the team’s invaluable property.Similarly in our life,our parents serve as the coaches who guide us on the tour.They encouraged us when we on the right way.As soon as we fall on the wrong track,they will pull us back immediately.
Whether a team can win or not depends on the ability of the strikers,if the strikers can not score,even the defenders give a perfect performances,the best result can only be tied.In the same way,what we have achieved when we are young determines whether our life is successful,colorful and meaningful.Like strikers,young people have many chances to score during the life.If they can grasp this chance,they veer to victory.Otherwise,what left can only be tears,regrets and self-reproaches?
When we grow older,we become midfield players,who are the bonds between strikers and defenders.Most times,they pass the ball to their own field and offer chances to strikers; however,they also score themselves.When we are middle-aged,we no longer have much enthusiasm as before.We give up many opportunities for the sake of young people.However,when a golden chance for which we have been waiting approaches to us,we do care if we can make good use of it.
It is acknowledged that goalkeepers seldom gains affections from fans compared with others.When the team defeated,they are likely to become the first person to blame.They have no chance to run with their teammates in the pitch.What they have to do is only taking good care of the goal.However,a capable goal keeper can become the leader of defenders.Standing before the goal,they can have an overall view of the obstruction.Like the goalkeepers,old people are always wandering in his own area and offering opportunities to others.They just keep what they have achieved.But they are so experienced that they can also make a great contribution to the society and become models and spiritual leaders in many areas.
We can hardly imagine how a match will be like if there are no referees.They are the fundamental element of a marvelous match.They keep orders and give punishments to those who make fouls.The power to give yellow or red cards requires their fair judgment.Otherwise,it is not fair to players who are gasping in the football pitch.In our life,we also have invisible referees-values and beliefs.In most times,they are right and necessary.But sometimes,we can become victims to some wrong values and beliefs.Although,we know if we stand up and struggle with them,we can gain nothing but a red card.
A thrill football match needs good cooperation of the coach,strikers,midfield players,goalkeeper and referees.A wonderful life also needs our hard work from young to old,which is gained from the guidance of our parents in a just society.
