24hours is very long, isn't it? Yes, it is.
But it could also be very short especially when spent for me, with someone I so much love or respect.... Someone of value... Someone who when with, seems like time is running in 30minutes per seconds, hehe.
A lot of persons in this world have and are leaving their marks/ footprints to stand the test of time as legacies to the younger generation in many fields of life.
It is with these set of people that we could confidently choose to spend a special day with because we already know what they are worth.
I really have a lot of persons if asked to make a list with whom I would love to spend this special day with.... Persons who are thriving and winning in various sectors of life but then, there is always a favourite.
It doesn't mean I don't love others so much but it simply means that this very person is someone who I yearn so much for.
Who's This Person I Speak So Much About?
He's someone who you can't miss... Someone who you must have heard a lot about even when you're not interested in his field of life and he's no other person other than Luis Lionel Andres Messi called LM10 for short.
Lionel Messi is an Argentine who is very known In the world of football... Unarguably the best to ever kick the ball in the history of football despite suffering Growth Hormone Deficiency disease in early childhood which affected his normal growth.
I love football very much and maybe it's the reason it's not far fetched that he is the one I picked to spend this costly hour with.
I didn't chose him just because of how good he is at kicking the ball but then, I chosed him because of the way he lives...
His life in general inspires me.
What a Man!
- A Happy Family
I know it's arguable to say a celebrity has a happy family as we don't know what happens behind the scene and the rampant increase of divorce these days but then, what can you say about a family who always shows up when you're celebrating and when you're in pains??
I think that's a perfect family.
Messi is one of the few celebrities who broke the bias when it comes to the way other celebrities go about their families which never last as if marriage was all by contract (some are anyway), jumping from one family to another , giving birth at almost all the countries in the world.
Ever since I knew him, he has been with one lady as his wife and has always sticked with her.... One of the few celebrities who has never been linked up with any sex scandal.
This really shows how disciplined he is and I would love him to tell me how he upholds this virtue.
- Humility
If only humility was a person, then we're talking about LM10.
Football is a game filled with passion and emotions to make sure your team secures a victory against your opponent but then, LM10 doesn't see it that way.
He plays with so much love and humility. He is always willing to put the interest of the club first above his own Interest and listens to whatever the coach says he should do even when he has had a better career than the coach.
Humility is one virtue that's arguably the mother of all virtues... Spending a day with a man who has it amidst other things would really be nice.
- Skillful But Not Proud
LM10 is a footballer who's in the top 3 most skillful players on earth. He backs up his skillfulness with awards and comes through with goals and assists to secure victories for the club anytime he's on the pitch.
Despite all the awards he has won, he is never a proud one.
He leads a simple life trying his best to put smiles in the face of many when he plays the football.
- Resilience and Hardwork
Talk about "keep trying until your last breath till you get it done"... That's LM10.
In his pursuit to win the world cup and make his country proud, he kept on trying even after many losses and many years of trial but then, he never gave up.
Not until he was favoured and finally achieved his target...
Life is all about resilience while exhibiting hardwork because as I will always love to tell myself,
Messi exhibited it and I would love to ask him what kept him going despite all those moments of failure.
It's just the impossibility of humans that made me not to be physically present in Argentina when he won the world cup few months ago but believe me when I tell you that I was there spiritually and shared in his joy.
A second with LM10 will be an unforgettable second...
A minute with LM10 will be most valuable minute...
An Hour with LM10 will be the most cherished hour...
But
A day with LM10 will be a dream come true
Hopefully, I'll actualise any of that.....
Imagine getting on the pitch to kick the ball together with LM10...... Jeez, that will be a heavenly feeling 😃
Thanks for reading and have a nice day👍
