As I was taking a walk down the street walk way to gather some more points for my @actifit activities report yesterday, I saw kids playing football in an open space, it reminded me of the days of long ago, when I was a kid like them too loving so much to play football on the street.
Our Love for the Game of Football
Once we came back from school back then, we hurriedly removed our school uniforms and came out of our houses to play street football. We didn’t bother to do our school homework first or doing any house chores or even eating. All we just wanted to come out and be among the first group of players to be selected to play first set.
Life Back in the Days
Life then was full of fun, but we had people who didn’t like the fun we were having and they felt we had better and more important things to do with our time than play football and they were our parents. Lol. You see, back then, playing football was seen as something that wasn’t going to result in anything positive in a kids’ life, it was placed in the category of musicians, actors, comedians and professions like that. But now, all that has changed, footballers’ are earning in a week what some parents are going to earn in 35 years of dedicated active service in the professions they termed proper. Lol. Our parents wanted us to be doctors, lawyers and engineers and not aiming to be such meant you were not serious with your life.
I could have been the Next Big Football Star
Meeeeen! I could have been one of the best players in the world, I could have been playing for Manchester United, Real Madrid or Barcelona, I could… Yeah yeah, I guess you guys get what I mean. Lol. But could have, was what we all had a dream of back then. But I was even finding it difficult getting selected for the street football games not to talk of state or national teams. But it is good to have a reason for not achieving my dreams of becoming a great footballer though, I can’t be telling people I don’t play with my left leg or that the game was too fast for me or that I didn’t have the skills for the game.
It Finally Went Away
So, as I watch those kids playing, I just remember the good old days when we had a lot of friends, when to be happy is what we just wanted to be, when our thought were just for ourselves and we didn’t need to worry about 10 or 15 years from now. Now our thoughts are for our families, their future and what they become. I now tell them to stay home and read their books so that they can be successful in life, I tell them that education is very important and that getting a university education is the key to having a successful career. I just hope they don’t ask me what course of study Ronaldo or Messy read at the university they graduated from. Lol.

Childhood Dream, LOL
Childhood dreams, those are just *attraction.
I had wished lots of things, when I was a child. But nothing comes true yet. I'm not guilty.
All dreams are not our attraction too. Because some of the dreams that we really want to be, those dreams are your reality that what you are and what you want to be.
Each and everything you can only found on your past life, I mean your childhood or whatever just past.
Sometimes we have to look at our past, nor present nor future.
We can find all the answer to every question in our past life.
I think I have to stop, I wrote lots of useless things sorry for that. What should I do, I'm surrounding with lots people but I'm feeling lonely. My Bad.
No no no, it isn't a bother at all. I like getting feedback no matter how it comes out. Your post show you're good at writing, but I just checked your blog to see that you ain't get much posted. Your experience can be a great inspiration to write a lot of post but you can make them one daily. If you have good content it helps attract regular upvotes. You can join stuffs that will help you get regular upvotes too. Anyhow, if you act the steem community will react. But if you don't do nothing, they'll also go to sleep. Cheers.
Yeah, you are right, I will think about this.
Thanks😄
Thanks for you comment as always. Cheers and stay happy.
Education is of course an important factor. But the main thing is that education is correct. A lot of garbage and useless information noise are received by people with the advent of various online education.
University education is becoming obsolete. Require new teaching methods.
One of the important factors of education in my opinion is financial literacy. It is she who gives the opportunity to be successful.
You're right my man. Thanks for your comment.
Maaan,my dreamwas to become professional skateboarder.
Same thing with you,right after school me and my friends just went for skating and we didn't care for anything else.
You reminded me of my childhood.
Thank you for that man.

Thanks for keeping track of it.
This time I'm really late
We'll see about that when the result comes out later today. Just stay tuned.
No, @ketcom you did lots to me.
Now what I'm just because of you
I liked to participate in your contest and stay connected with you. You are good person, I believe. Just don't break anyone trust.
As a human, we have to help each other to grow, to live and to survive. This our duty.
My motto is "everyone wins". So in my contest, everyone will win. I care that we all get to the top. So, I ain't leaving. Thanks so much for your comment. I really do appreciate them.
Let me ask you a one question, why you still have 59 reputation?
See mine it continuously growing why not yours.
It still 59 yet. When it will be 60 or more
Lol, very funny. I wish I could push myself to Rep 70. Lol. Anyways, it's the algorithm, the higher you go the more difficult it is to go up. Rep 25 to Rep 40 is a piece of cake. No offense to you or anyone out there. This is because one good upvote or little investment can take you there. Now Rep 40 to Rep 50, you start feeling the heat, it kinda slows down, you need more upvote or investments to get there. Now going from Rep 50 to Rep 60 you now start respecting those up there, you discover it anin't easy. Everything slows down a lot at this stage, you work more and need a lot of investment to get there. Ones you're Rep 60 and above you are the man. As a matter of fact at Rep 70 and above a lot of people upvote you not that your content was better than that of someone with Rep 25, but because you now command a certain respect. People will believe everything you post is going to earn them a lot of money. Lol. So you get loads of followers who want curation rewards. So my dear, we have to work harder because we have a long way to go. Thanks for your comments always.

That fun childhood life is always there, we just happen to waste our energy doing adult things like worring, planning, etc. Kids get it, now is more imporant than yesterday or tomorrow, now is the only real thing, and it changes consantly, everything else other than the now is false
You're very correct my friend, we just worry too much these day.
