Spain vs. Netherlands
I was looking forward to this game out of the three games playing today, and I am left in a big disappointment. Spain and Netherlands are both great teams and especially Spain, they are the world champions from four years ago, and number one in FIFA ranking… well who knows? Soon after this World Cup, they may no longer be in the first place. I don't have much information about the soccer players, but I recognize a lot of Spanish players… meaning, that it's time for them to retire. Although you start early, if I've seen you for the past two World Cups, then it's time for you to move on and give the younger guys a chance to play. Especially Casillas. There is a saying in Korea, which can be directly translated as "leave when you are applauded." I'm not sure if there is something similar in English but it basically means that you should leave when you are at your highest peak. Casillas is a great example because, apparently (although I don't remember) he blocked every goal in the World Cup 4 years ago. It was probably wise for him to just end his World Cup career then. If that was the case, then he will be remembered as the greatest goalie ever, or somewhere along those lines. However, because he decided to play again this year… see how many mistakes he's making. Well, I shouldn't be too quick to judge because Casillas still has two games to make up for his mistakes. We shall see…
Oh, I was encouraged today at work today. For the past week, the company's been looking for prospective employees, and one girl came for her interview today. When she was asked for a reason why she wanted to work for the company, her response, according to my manager was because someone in the company inspired her. And guess who that someone was…. me! I'm a little embarrassed because I don't really understand how I could inspire someone by what I do at work, because it's a really easy task. Plus, I got a glimpse of the girl and I do not remember seeing her before. However, if in fact anything I did inspired someone in any way, I'm grateful that I did what I did. It was a good reminder that at all times, I should be careful of how I act and what I speak of, especially because I'm a Christian. I hope that the next I can have an influence on people as a follower of Christ… that they may see Christ living in me, and that the aroma of Christ may seep through me to other people around me.
