High school football is in full swing, and it’s amusement to sit in the stands on a crisp autumn night and watch our kids play. It tin also be the source of some beautiful comic comments by the fans, principally mothers who may be watching the only football games they’ll ever witness―or care to spectator, for that material.
For instance, during an recent game, our cheerleaders were standing with their backs to the field, leading a cheer of “hold ‘em, hold ‘em!” when an of the dads in the stands yelled out, “Girls! I consider that’s unlawful!”
He was right, of lesson, since our group happened to be above offense at the time.
But the real gem of that night was an reconnaissance made by the halfback’s mother. After seeing her son trying to run off-tackle double in a row, only to get caught up in a tangled pile of bodies at the line of scrimmage,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], she said, “You understand, it seems to me they’d do a lot better if they wouldn’t always just smoosh attach like that.”
Although her comment brought gales of laughter from everyone nigh her, and the repose of the night was emphasized at assorted folk exclaiming “no smooshing!” toward the athletes on the field, I had to admit―the matron was right. Our activities would have worked better if everyone fair stopped smooshing.
All the afterward week, that “no smooshing” comment kept playing through my idea, and the extra I thought about it, the more I achieved that life itself is favor that football game. The key to success constantly lies in our ability to dodge obtaining caught up in the tangle of everyday problems and to break into the open field―in additional words, to avoid smooshing.
That unintentionally mysterious expression also testified to be the kind of knowledge that only comes about when a person doesn’t know enough about a location to kas long assomething is “impossible.” There were peerless plausible causes for all the smooshing going on out there on the field, merely that mother didn’t know about whichever of them―so she came up with a easy solution to the problem. I could relate, since I’d capable a faultless example of that when my friend Digger and I were still in lofty educate.
We had judged that we wanted to write and sell jingles for the radio commercials. Filled with youthful enthusiasm, we threw ourselves into our quest and ahead a month had passed, we’d yet sold 3. Then one night, during the recording session for our third jingle, an advertising executive happened to tell us how amazing it was that 2 kids could have done the impossible by selling jingles―when everyone knew it could only be done by the maximum achieved, professional musicians.
That was the last jingle we ever sold.
We’d stopped fleeing in the open field and bogged down in the twist of bodies at the line of scrimmage―we smooshed.
So if you have a dream, hold it up to the light, reserve your eyes on it at all times, and above all―never let anybody differentiate you namely what you’re attempting to do is impossible.
And whenever you ascertain yourself beginning to lose heart―stop, take a deep respiration, and repeat these words: “No smooshing!”
