Be Grateful for the Game: Life Lessons from Arsenal Fans and the Beauty of Simply Showing Up
Dear You.
This is why there is still a fan base called ARSENAL FANS.
This is why NIGERIANS still keep MARCHING on.
Failure is a concept.
Success is a concept.
You define it.
For instance, this boy has kicked the ball. He didn’t score. But he is celebrating. Why?
Boy is celebrating “participation”.
That he could even kick the ball is a good thing.
Arsenal fans just keep going.
That they are in the concept of the game is a thing for them.
A lesson we must learn.
Otherwise, why do we think an Arsenal Fan keeps supporting a team that goes season after season without lifting any important trophy?
There are still fans of United.
Yes, every football day, you still hear “up united”.
Ask yourself, what’s up and Manchester United doing in the same sentence.
When was the last time they were up?
But I get it.
Not every team will be champs.
Some will be Arsenal. Some will be United..
This boy is Arsenal.
A reminder than we all should be greatful for participation.
