We all face problems or obstacles as we walk the path of life, this article gives my perspective on how to deal with these problems.
I found inspiration in my favorite football team, Birmingham City. They have a famous song that their fans always sing, called, keep going until the end of the road. Birmingham City is not a successful football team and has won very few trophies in one hundred and twenty years. I have been watching and supporting the team for four years now.
Despite the many negative effects and seasons, fans always try to stay straight and have a good sense of humor. The song just tells the players to move on and hopefully shows them that whatever happens, the fans will always be true and honest. I have often been amazed by the love and the humor that I feel when I look at them, as well as the love of the whole crowd. One season when these supporters unknowingly taught me a great lesson. The season in question was not good for Birmingham and led to the team being relegated to the second division at that time (leagues have been changed since then and this category is now known as the first division).
This was the lowest point the team had ever achieved. With two games left, the team has already been convicted, and the next game was the last home game of the season. In many clubs, the fans would give the players a stick, which would make it an uncomfortable afternoon for them. Not so in Birmingham, the fans were as loving as ever and continued to support and entertain them. Once a pamphlet was sent around Birmingham supporters produced by members of a support group. The pamphlet states that although the team has reached a lower level, it wants more fans to attend the final game of the season in London. This was to show the team that we are still strong and that we will be back next season. I went to that game, as did some six thousand Birmingham fans.
One song is sung throughout the game, continue until you reach the end of the road. It was an amazing experience for me and one I will never forget. The team is still defeated, but that doesn't mean anything at all. Later I thought about what had happened. I realized that when I felt depressed, I needed to think about that day and respond immediately. I was a very thoughtful person and realized that I needed to think positively. This is not easy though, but it is something I try hard to do. My belief is that good person have good and happy lives. This is what I want, and the example above has helped me get back on my feet many times.
Birmingham City has recently made it to the top of the league and three years ago reached the Promised Land of the Premier League. This season has not gone well, and the team is still struggling. Guess what, I and thousands more will still support them next year in whatever league they play in. Go ahead!
