The given responsibility

Giving Calhoun the Ball

There once was this important football game between two teams. One teams was much larger than the other. The larger team was dominating the game and beating the smaller team. The coach for the smaller team saw that his team was not able to contain or block the larger team. So his only hope was to call the plays that went to Calhoun, the fastest back in the aream who could easily outrun the larger players once he broke free.

The coach talked with his quarterback about giving the ball to Calhoun and letting him run with it. The first play the coach was excited, but Calhoun did not get the ball. The second play was again signaled for Calhoun, but once again Colhoun did not get the ball. Now the game was in the final seconds with the smaller team's only hope being for Calhoun to break free and score the winning touchdown. The third play and again Calhoun did not get the ball. The coach was very upset so he sent in the play again for the fourth and final play. The ball was snapped and the quarterbak was sacked, ending the game.

The coach was furious as he confronted the quarterback: "I told you four times to give the ball to Calhoun and now we've lost the game."

The quarterback stood tall and told the coach, "Four times I called the play to give the ball to Calhoun. The problem was that Calhoun did not want the ball."

ME: hmm..it may seem funny to you but if u r a team sports player..u will understand..every single person related to a team is important..a coach to teach, players to play n win, reserves to standby in case of any accident/injury, manager to tk care of the welfare of the team, and oso as important as any other.. the supporters..so..everione is important..if a player doesn't give his/her fullest effort,he/she is not responsible to the team,the coach and those supporters shouting for him/her. Of course..u muz understand tt when an instruction is given to u..it may be a heavy load added to ur shoulder but y not look at it this way..the team trust u..the team knows u can make the difference..the team is supporting u..so do it for the team,for the supporters and DO IT FOR URSELF! you can make a difference!
