Take the Shot!

You don’t win a basketball game by just dribbling around. You have to take the shot! If you miss, try again.

Before you play the official game, however, you practice well. Some says, “Practice makes perfect.” My teacher says, “Right practice make perfect.” You can only take perfect shots if you practice it right. That is why barriotic styles hardly win in professional games. It’s really different to play a systematic and scientific way of games.

You don’t win the game of life by mere brute strength. You have to be smart—and creative too.

Someone says, “Busyness is an enemy to clear thinking.” When your mind is unclear, you take poor decisions, fuzzy work-plans, and unclear direction. You also do a lot of things that doesn’t count. You lack concentration, driven everywhere. In the end, you’re burned out.

In life, hardwork is not a guarantee to success. Many people worked hard daily but went nowhere, while many reflect more, work less, and yet succeed. They plan every step to take, make minimum effort, and benefit to the max! They epitomize the promise “whatever you hands find to do will prosper!”

With wisdom, you will find out that life is too short to do everything. You cannot afford to make your way through life bullying with strength. It’s good to be hardworking, but not all the times. You need to play life with others, leverage, make strategies, conserve energy, and use your mind.

Work, like dribbling, is only a means to an end. The aim is to take the shots. When you do something, make it count as a means to your direction: to win. You can succeed by taking your best shots. So when you do something in school, office or church, do it with excellence.
