Life is a little like that. Most of the time, if you want something then you have to find something to motivate you to go and get it. 90% of the people never get what they really want, because they are too lazy or overconfident. To succeed in life, you have to push yourself by finding something to motivate you. Fear seems to be good. Hunger also works. Fear of being poor all your life. Hungry for the better things in life that always seem out of your grasp. Anybody can do it. Few do.

What is your vision of success? The image is different for each of us. Even more so, setting goals is more than making the above vague statements. It means creating a written plan that includes reasonable and measurable long-term and short-term objectives. It means setting SMART goals.

Every action that you do has its consequences. Your negative body actions may hurt another teammate unwittingly. A less than 100% effort will influence the rest to follow suit. A goal conceded by the defenders could be the result of the forwards not focusing on their task of pressing their opponents into making mistakes.
