Joga Bonito, play beautiful

So still wondering about the phrase above? It means play beautiful, though I do not know in which language. Yup, just playing soccer beautifully. Had a small little incident at the street soccer court yesterday where someone on the opposing team was playing rough. Well, this just displays to me that they are lousy in soccer, because the better ones often do not have to resort to rough play. There is a difference between playing rough and playing tough.

Next, I was just pondering on one of my previous posts. In there, I wrote that if you love something or are passionate about something, nothing will dampen your passion for it. But coming to think of it, I find that there are just some exceptions. Somethimes, the actions of others really make you feel either just so fed-up or disappointed, considering that you have done something for them. The gratefulness is just not there.

Even though I am not really satisfied with the method of resolving the problem, I still respect one of my teachers for saying this, that values is more important than studies. To analyse this, lets just prioritise both of them. With values, such as determination, courage, attitude, no matter how weak you are in your studies, you will rise up. Even if you dont, you will gain the support of others around you, because of what they see in you. However, even if you are the top student anywhere, without these values, you will still drop sooner or later and get looked-down upon by others. You cannot learn such stuff from books, you must learn from experience to possess them. And maintaining them is not an easy task, especially when situations differ from one to another.

With the world cup looming in, can really feel the soccer atmosphere. People rushing to suscribe to the cable tv sports channels, buying world cup merchandise, playing the official world cup game. Well, to me, the world cup is just the best sporting event ever, the pride is on the line, the skills displayed, the tactics used, 1 word to describe it all, superb. Well, I am going for PORTUGAL. There are a star studded team, though not as good as the Brazilans.

Last but not least, so glad Henry signed for Arsenal. Well, this means a more balanced power, otherwise clubs like Chelski and Barca and tougher to beat.
