Goal!

The Millennium came 11 years ago and joined our championship, after deciding to score 8 clean development goals in the net of humanity. The Millennium has used all its superstars’ expertise- professional players and coaches who enable the players to score the 8 goals.

Millennium has seen the amount of money spent on buying the players, hiring the coaches and drawing the plans soar, but the net still looks untouched, no goals scored.

Then, out of patience, the Millennium has asked the net of humanity: “What’s wrong? Is there a whole in the net? Whenever my people try to score, where does the ball disappear to?”

The net answered back: “Rest assured as nobody has tampered with me. Have a look at my threads; they are intact. As a matter of fact, they are as strong as they were 12 years ago. It’s not my problem”.

The Millennium, angered at such effrontery, replied: “Whose is it then? “

The net of humanity, sensing the Millennium’s lack of patience, answered gently: “ It could be that you have the wrong coaches. Or the players aren’t as good as you thought. Or you are using a wrong ball. If you ask me, I think you could be on the wrong pitch altogether.”

Shocked by this, the Millennium asked himself: “What I am to do now?!”

The net, seeing the impact its words have had, said: “You need to go back to your own people and investigate. I think neither your players, nor your coach or the club owner believe in what you have set out to achieve”.

Sighing, the Millennium left, shoulders slumping, asking himself all the time where he went wrong. Watching him leave, the net said wisely: “Unfortunately, the only people still suffering are the people whose money are being wasted to score offside goals, the ones that would not benefit them.”
