As I watched a basketball game between two opposing teams, I could not help but also reflect on life as a basketball game itself. And just like any team in a basketball game, here are my observations in life being compared to it:
a. different positions-center, forward, guard, etc. these are the different positions in a basketball game. And in life, we ought to play various roles in one way or the other. And in order for one to be effective on any of this role, he needs to acquaint himself with all the roles and responsibilities that this role requires. In life, we also need to know what then are our various roles in the different areas we are in such as the family, community, workplace, society. Being knowledgeable on our very own "SELF" allows us to effectively play our respective roles.
b. teamwork- a very essential ingredient in the game of basketball. Teamwork brings the team to the road of success. That's exactly what we need in life- we ought to have that good teamwork with others especially with our loved ones. And we will only succeed in this one if we are able to understand others on both ends- meaning both in their good and bad sides of life.

c. cohesion- as a result of teamwork, we can expect a cohesion within the team and this is exactly will happen to life when we experience a smooth sailing relationship with others close to us and also those outside of our inner circles. Each day then becomes an interesting page to life's chapter- full of surprises and wonderful moments.
d. coach- finally to mould all the talents in a basketball team, it requires a learned and a magnificent coach to combine, discover and develop the individual talent of each member. Hence the coach plays such an important role- to monitor and make it sure that each member is playing according to the standards of the team.

Hence, when we know how to incorporate all these factors, just like in any basketball game, we will also trek the positive side of life journey.
