The Amazing 7-1 Lessons •Lofty Heights™ Tuesday 8th July, 2014 night witnessed a strange act in the history of world football as the Germans shocked the Brazilian team with a whooping 7-1 defeat. We all laughed about this unprecedented defeat, but as I thought about it, there are lessons to be learnt. Here are few: 1. The Indispensable One:- There is no gain saying the fact that the absence of the Brazilian Striker, Neymar contributed hugely to their gross loss. This dude had become their god to the extent that the spectators chant his name whenever hes on the field. Lesson: If you are one of those who trust in man SO much for help, there may be a time they wont be able to help you. Not because they dont want to, but probably because it was beyond their reach. If you are an Entrepreneur, NEVER build your business around 1 staff, no matter how good or dedicated he/she is. His or her exit may mark the beginning of the end of your business. 2. Success is sweet:- I was dazed when I saw Manuels countenance (the German Keeper) after he conceded a goal even though theyd scored 7! He was angry. Hed wanted to keep a clean record! Hes FIFAs #1 Goal Keep in the tournament. Lesson: You must never be satisfied with the status quo. No matter what youve achieved, always thirst for more. 3. Thankful attitude:- More surprising to me was when I saw David Luiz (who captained the Brazilian team) when he went on his knees giving thanks to God immediately the final whistle was blown. Ive never seen such before! Lesson: No matter what loss you have suffered or suffering, never cease to thank God. The Bible admonishes us to give thanks always. Luiz was an inspiration to me that night
