Confidence and Dreams

"Every dream has a beginning."

- Tagline of the movie Goal! (2006)

.

"The only one who can tell me I'm not good enough is you. And even then I may not agree with you."

- Munez to his Coach

.

If you like rags-to-riches fairy tales, you'll love this movie. Santiago Munez struggles to make his dream come true much to the disappointment of his father. Leaving his life behind, Munez boards a plane & heads to English Football Club Newcastle United. The trials & tribulations that Munez faces as he tries to achieve his dream will test every fiber of his being.

“Goal!” is basically like every other sports film before it, as a young hero does all he can to make it in the big league. Sports films are like romantic comedies we have seen the same thing a million times but that doesn’t mean we don’t enjoy the journey. This is a beautiful film that focuses much on themes like integrity, honesty, discipline, friendship & love.

Challenge the Unknown

Why do people persist in a dissatisfying relationship, unwilling either to work toward solutions or end it & move on? It's because they know changing will lead to the unknown, & most people believe that the unknown will be much more painful than what they're already experiencing.

Teaching a Class of ...

A young female teacher was giving an assignment to her 6th grade class one day. It was a large assignment so she started writing high up on the chalkboard. Suddenly there was a giggle from one of the boys in the class. She quickly turned & asked, "What's so funny, Pat?"

"I just saw one of your garters!"

"Get out of my classroom," she yells, "I don't want to see you for three days!"

The teacher turns back to the chalkboard. Realizing she had forgotten to title the assignment, she reaches to the very top of the chalkboard. Suddenly there is an even louder giggle from another male student. She quickly turns and asks, "What's so funny, Billy?"

"I just saw both of your garters!"

Again, she yells, "Get out of my classroom! This time the punishment is more severe, I don't want to see you for three weeks!"

Embarrassed & frustrated, she drops the eraser when she turns around again. So she bends over to pick it up. This time there is an burst of laughter from another male student. She quickly turns to see Little Johnny leaving the classroom.

"Where do you think you're going?" she asks.

"From what I just saw, my school days are over!"

Moses & the Crossing of Red Sea

Nine-year-old Joey was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday School.

"Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. When he got to the Red Sea, he had his engineers build a pontoon bridge, & all the people walked across safely. He used his walkie-talkie to radio headquarters & call in an air strike. They sent in bombers to blow up the bridge & all the Israelites were saved."

"Now, Joey, is that REALLY what your teacher taught you?" his mother asked.

"Well, no, Mom, but if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it!"
