Is it possible that sport is a metaphor for the meaning of life? Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose, just as in real life. But nomatter what the outcome is, no matter howmany times the player falls down and loses the ball, he/she may lie on the grass or floor for a while,then stands up and brushes himsef/herself off, and starts trying again,until the goal is scored or until the prey is caught. This falling and getting up defines the very human nature 一Hope. Even when we arenot winning, and the odds are against Us, we just keep moving forward until weexceed the impossible.
