Alex loved football. He was the best player among his friends. Every Sunday, he played with them in the park, scoring many goals. His friends said he could play with his eyes closed.
One day, Alex's uncle watched him play. The uncle worked for a big football team. After the game, where Alex scored three goals, his uncle talked to him.
"Alex, you're good at football," he said. "Do you want to try playing for a professional team?"
Alex was very happy. This was his dream! He said yes, thinking about playing on TV for many fans.
A week later, Alex went to train with the professional team. He was nervous but tried to look brave. The training was hard. It was faster than what Alex was used to. The other players were very good.
During a practice game, Alex tried to get past Jack, the team captain. But Jack took the ball easily.
"Try harder, new guy!" Jack shouted.
Alex felt embarrassed. No one had ever beaten him like this before.
Later, Jack talked to Alex. "I know it's hard," Jack said. "But here, we always try our best. Every practice is like a big game. That's how we get better."
Alex understood. Being good at football wasn't just about skill. It was about working hard all the time and challenging yourself by getting out of your comfort zone and circle of influence. Staying in the same circle where you are the best won't allow you to grow.
For the next few weeks, Alex worked very hard. He came early and left late. He watched videos of games, exercised a lot, and asked many questions. Slowly, he got better.
Years later, Alex joined a business opportunity in direct selling. He found that the things he learned in football helped him in this business too.
Just like in football, being good at direct selling wasn't just about natural talent. It was about working hard, always learning, and trying new things.
Alex worked hard in his new venture, just like he did in football. He set goals and made plans. He learned from successful people and practiced every day. When things were hard, he remembered what Jack said and treated every day like an important game.
As Alex's business grew, he thought about his first day with the professional team. He realized that what he learned there - about thinking positively, working hard, and always trying to get better - helped him succeed in any venture.
