Apologies to non-football lovers.
The picture above is that of two footballers standing side by side. But it is also an image that conveys so much message about life. Some 10 years ago, Diego Simeone (14) played alongside Fernando Torres at Atletico madrid. Those years, Torres was so influential that he was made captain of the team despite being far younger than Simoene. Allusively, the El Nino (Torres) was the boss of his time. Essentially, Torres could partly suggest who should play and who shouldn't as he was even the highest goal scorer in la liga.
A decade on, Diego Simeone becomes the manager and boss of Torres, and ultimately decides whether the El Nino plays or not. The period looks a long one, but in fact very short. Torres had gone to England, Italy and his career was almost dead. At a point when even all smaller clubs rejected him, Simeone vetoed Torres' come back. Now, he's certainly back to his best and in the Champions League final again. I'm thinking, if Torres had looked down on Simoene when he was skipper? Thinking if he had mistreated, disrespected and been rude to Diego those years? Would he be given a chance when Diego became the boss? In 2005, Simoene did what Torres ordered in camp. In 2016, Torres obeys the orders of Simeone.
Life is like a coin thrown up in the air. No one can predict which side falls and what moment it turns. Nobody knows tomorrow. Nobody stays top forever. You're boss today but One day, someday, someone will become your boss. Perhaps a stranger, perhaps one of the people you 'bossed' over. Treat everyone down there with respect when you're in the up chair, because you never know tomorrow. Thread cautiously. You may not care today, but may be you will someday. A boss today can be a subordinate tomorrow. A servant today is a potential boss tomorrow. Use power and position cautiously.
#no one is useless; they are only used-less
Do have a lovely beautiful fruitful wonderful blissful blessful night rest. Fretless
