I know that keeping up with routine exercise schedule is hard, especially if there is no one to encourage or even exercise with you. Speaking from experience, I know that exercising by your self is not much fun. It is easier and more fun to do it with loved ones or with a group of friends or even doing it in a place where there are a lot of people doing the same thing, even if we don’t know most of those people.

Although training alone have benefits too, sometimes it is hard to appreciate those benefits. When training alone, I can focus on my development and I can focus on every repetition, every move I make.

It is easy to help other person, especially if they have money, connection and other benefits and privileges. On the other hand, it is not easy to help other people who are less fortunate. People who doesn’t have anything of value or those who are handicapped are some example of such people.

I know it is sad, but such realities occurred around us every day, whether we noticed it or not. Often we noticed such realities, but the sad thing is we rarely do anything to help change it.

Life is one giant roller coaster ride that never actually ends. It turns, it bends, it goes up and it goes down, again and again. It might not be the best of metaphors to actually describe what life is, but for now it will do. Enough talking about life, now let’s talk about football instead?

Living in a football crazed country such as Indonesia sure has its privileges, and one of them is the ability to watch ALL the matches LIVE and for FREE. Although our national football team hasn’t had the ability to compete in a world stage for a long time, we still love football nonetheless. Read the rest of this entry »
