In a World of Average people try to be among the Best.

in Sri Lanka-ශ්‍රී ලංකා3 years ago (edited)
While there are thousands of athletes in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo and Virat Kohli are the best in their game. Everybody knows them and they have their own fanbase across the world. They are the best of the best. But if you ask someone who "Marco Asensio" is, a good football fan would know but most of us would not. The same scenario applies to your school, university, company, club, etc. as you might notice there is always one or two who gets highlighted from the rest. Let's take a look at what sets them apart, as there is something that could be taken from the lives of the best.

Let's imagine a simple scenario where there are two employees at a company. One who everyone believe to be the best employee well known across the company and the other an average employee who is considered yet another employee in the company. Let's call the best employee X and the other Y. When you meet X during the company, he is always pumped up, smiling, greeting everyone else and you would feel like he is having the best day of his life. You feel the energy in him and the team working with him feels it too. This sets the tone of the team. When X is absent on a day the team would feel lack of momentum and often lose in direction. He is best at what he does as well. He knows everything from end to end of his job role. X finishes assigned tasks on time and he takes responsibility when a task is assigned to him. The company leaders know when a task is assigned to him, he would do the best and they would not have to worry. X is the first to arrive at the company and the last to leave. Even if it is a company of 1000 employees everybody would know X

Y is part of the team as well. But if Y is absent on a day he could be replaced with someone else. No one would really feel the absence of him. When you meet Y, you feel that he is not that happy, complains about work, and is working for the sake of money. He leaves exactly when the office hours are over. He takes leaves when he feels like and others would need to carry on his work. He is often not meeting deadlines and there are complaints about him. He does not know everything about the domain of job but only try to get the task done somehow.

Let's take an even simpler example. Imagine you have an alms giving at one of your relative's house. You would see there is a person who is leading all the work. He would be looking after the food, talking with the guests, running here and there to get the work done. You would also see ones who are sitting in a chair drinking Nescafe.

Have you hated Kohli when he used to do all those celebrations when he takes a catch or hit a century? Well, I was one of them. But you all were talking about him, right? The girls knew Virat Kohli. In our minds, we knew he was simply the best. Most of the Sri Lankans respect him now. He is the only one from cricket that the whole world knows. The same things go to Cristiano Ronaldo. I started watching football because of him. Even those who don't know football know Cristiano. Is it because of their talent? Well, it is a reason as well. But it is also because of their attitude, determination to be the best. They train hard even after becoming the best. They want to win every match. They want to be the best in the world. Not their country, not their team but the world. Those are the standards set by them to themselves.

People love to be with the best. Girls love to be with the best boys. People watch football to see the best footballers. You might wonder who I am and whether I belong to the best. My honest answer would be no. I used to be the 3rd 4th and even 19th in the class during school but never the 1st. I used to be an average student during university. I used to be the guy drinking a Nescafe during an alms giving. But I have learned from the best what it takes to be the best. So I'm trying. You should too. In a world of average people try to be among the best!

@yasith ayye, this is a really really good article. just WOW!.
I like how you are now more than before you were. It's so great how you interact with others.
I think you got so much inspiration from Ronald. That's right girls like these charactors. Honestly, I don't know anything about football , but I really like ronald not because of he is playing football but because of his personality. He is the best. We can get a lot from him.
I got some ideas how to be the best among others!😊

Not a sports person but I know all the gossips about sports figures. They both look handsome as well and fine family men irl in addition to being the best in sports.

Have you hated Kohli when he used to do all those celebrations when he takes a catch or hit a century?

Hating him was a trend by then but not now at all. I also like Lewis Hamilton and as a local Dilantha Malagamuwa.

Yes true. The point I am trying to give is they have these qualities that set them apart from the rest of us. If we can learn at least a few of them we can become a better version of ourselves.
