Let’s see now: Which man is more worthy?
One of these 2 men is in mid-early 30’s & plays with an inflated object for a living-—in games that last maybe 2 hours total. He cannot do that for his entire life. He is grossly overpaid for doing it in his prime. He is paid millions of dollars for playing with a ball.
The other man is twice the age of the ‘athlete’. He CONTRIBUTES HIS SALARY to various places, especially Veterans causes. He works 24/7/365. He gets some hours to play golf, but he is ALWAYS ON CALL FOR ANYTHING TO HAPPEN. He is responsible for the welfare of an entire country-—over 330 MILLION persons.
He has been more successful at business than almost all the Basketball athletes combined over that past 60 years. He arises early & goes to bed late, seeming to require a minimum of sleep. He is kind to his fans & his family.
Which one would I take life lessons from?
Not a hard call at all. I don’t enjoy the thug basketball being played today, either. I LIKE MIKE !!
