Bring That Ball Into the Cup

Bring That Ball Into the Cup

We all have goals but as in tons of soccer games, how often did the game end scoreless at 0-0 ?  For a post mortem of such a scoreless game, it can reflect the defensive quality of the opposing teams, the stingy defense they put up across.  But at the end of the day, games just can't go on scoreless.  Someone has to score after all.

And when you're out there in the playing field, you may be Lebron James in the NBA but what one analyst expressed in awe about this GOAT player ?  It is his awe that when out there court, he instead of playing basketball, he plays more often than someone waiting on the wings. Bhavna Dalal clearly spelled out why we have to execute things either in a strategic or tactical reason.

Sun Tzu, the noted Chinese military strategist said: 'Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory.  Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.  In layman's terms, strategic plans influence tactical plans whereas a tactical plan answers 'how do we achieve our strategic plan'.  

The challenge is that, that path from a problem towards a solution is never a straight path.  In fact, it is a conflagration of options that run through a circuitous path, of which, all except one path will lead you farther from the solution or worse, it will lead you to nowhere.  If we go to Quora @ https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-strategic-and-tactical-goal, strategic is for the long-term whereas tactical is the short-term approach to help zero-in on that strategic plan.  

Can I swing you over if I pitch that the great NBA superstar Lebron James plays chess when he's on court ?  Seriously, he's one damn woodpusher even when playing the hoops.  When he brings the ball to the front court, he slows down and looks all over the place, ensuring that his pieces are at the right place at the right time.   And that before he either throws a wild lob pass or he cuts and drives straight into the cup.

But never get lost in the maze because you got to be damn focused on your goal, that of hitting the bullseye and not just somewhere on the periphery.  Are you more into riding the bandwagon ?  or sitting on the fences ?  Then I'm sorry, you're doomed to [likely] fails because those are NOT the hallmarks of success.  It takes a stern fortitude and no less than that, dude.✅✅✅
