Evidence: The Happiness Advantage

“The day I scored my first goal in the soccer team”

I will never forget the day in which I scored my first goal in the soccer team of my
work. It was a year ago. I remember that before that time. I had never had the
opportunity to play football, so I felt quite nervous and pressured to play well and
contribute to my team in the game.

The first matches left me exhausted and many times I was disappointed not to
have played as I wanted.

Until one day in the middle of the match a teammate made a pass and scored the
goal when only ten minutes of play had elapsed. After that I remember having
started to feel very satisfied and with the confidence to continue playing well.

I know that suddenly it is not a very impressive experience but it is something that I
still think about t and it makes me feel very happy and pleased. He also taught me
to strive even harder to learn and do things that I always wanted despite the
obstacles that arise.

Now my friends from work and study call me to be part of their team because they
like my way of playing and that makes me feel very excited because this sport
became my biggest hobby.

And it is an anecdote that I have commented enough when we sit down to talk after
the end of the games and that motivates other people to persist in what they
propose until they can achieve it.
