AND GOD...
TELL US THE REASON..
YOUTH IS WASTED ON THE YOUNG...
IT'S HUNTING SEASON..
AND THIS LAMB IS ON THE RUN..
WE'RE SEARCHING FOR MEANING..
BUT ARE WE ALL.....
LOST STARS....
TRYING TO LIGHT..
UP THE DARK...
- Keira Knightley - Lost Stars (Begin Again Soundtrack)
Tell us the reason.. the youth is wasted on the young...
Do not know the clear meaning of it... but one thing clear... is that this song... makes someone into a deep thought....of a traveller...on the bike.... travelling through the dawn and the night...
Lighting up my dark... got out to collect my passport..
Rushed to the next venue which was the football center..
Moving my bike hurriedly to there...I could feel that I was beginning to enjoy going there.
I no longer was reporting to the center just for the sake of preparing myself without my full will but with an enjoyment now. I could feel everytime I go that I was improving and learning. I always learn new things from the coaches there and could use them into practical use. I should quickly attend the Sunday league team to make those lessons I learned into its use on the field.
Today, another coach took us over as the coach who used to teach us had a kid to teach during our time. Our class was only for adults. Thus, it was less intense than teaching the kids. Kids who were learning there were aiming to become a professional footballer. Meanwhile, those adults learning the lesson were just to have better football skills in Sunday league football they belong to.
As I was practicing, I could feel that my toes were painful. I could feel that my toenails were too long that it was hurting my toes. I persevered through and finished the training with even an extra hour of training. Had a such fulfilling lunch again from the Korean buffet. The policy in the buffet was that if I waste food, I had to pay another 2000 won. I never wanted to do that so I had to gulp the food without wanting them.
Reached gym after 30mins of bike. Fortunately, even the idea of gymming was great these days. The thought of building my body.. for Ji won. haha nope. For myself. And the routinely work was pretty much simple too. I could also feel that I was getting stronger each day. Finished the gym work and rushed home when it was only 3:30pm. The reason was because there was Asian cup quarterfinals match between Uzbekistan and Korea. As a Korean and a football fan, it was a must watch match. As I was going back home, being fatigued, there was one long staircase walking up to go to where my bike was parked.. Then I thought... this is the only tiring part and the hard part on the way home... being so tired from the unavoidable leg works from cycling an hour each day. Just then.. this thought came up to me in my mind... What if ... I take this into a different thinking... A thinking that... I just see the whole journey in general as a happy journey home to watch football comfortably...not thinking negatively and emphasizing on this hard part.. Likewise for life... going through retaining and failing.... what if I don't see just the negative aspects.. What if I see my whole life...in a long term...as a happy end.. Then... I'm actually on my path walking to the happy end of my life.. I'm on the right path..be it negative or positive I am going through currently...
With such Confucius-like thought, I rushed home as I always needed to read the preview articles before the match start. Reached home and fortunately there was nobody at home. I could watch the match screaming and shouting without getting bothered or getting scolded. Match got longer than expected... It did not end in 90 mins... Korea missed a few chances that could have led to a goal and likewise for Uzbek. It entered the extra 30 minutes and Korea played a different game for this match. Son Heung Min, the Korean super talent scored two goals at this extra time. What caught my eyes were not Son but Cha du-ri's assist. His assist was crazy. His speed... his run... and his overwhelming physical ability.... He ran from the half line... dribbling while running .. going past two defenders and crossing to Son... It is Cha's goal. He made the goal himself. Then I thought...Maybe... I am that kind of player..Although I still need the physical appearance aspect... Playing with the ball, running with the ball with speed that others can't catch up.. and having that stamina to outrun any others on the field... Maybe...that's the type of player I should be...
Finisehd watching the match... and I'm at my room again typing out my story of the day...
Preparing myself for work tomorrow. Another full of fun day. Hope I can get closer with other colleagues and most importantly.. hope I wouldn't repeat my mistake of scolding the kids... Thank God for today and days to come...
Goodnight..
