There are many decisions that I have took in my life but the decision that always remember and that always triggers me it’s definitely during full match back in my high school days. The decision what that I decided to play center forward despite being a defender I think that when I when I play also for what I will able to goal I will able to score a goal and our team was on our team was playing draw against our senior high school team so I think that if I take that chance and I think I could put score in my team then I can win it for my team but there were many consequences in that game my plan and and execution did not go well. The plan was entirely made by me. I did not consult with any other team mates. I think that I will square a goal and get my team a win but I think there wasn’t any such consequences. We both lost the game. I think playing as a whole team you should be able to cope with your members or executed properly you should not do it alone so I think I learned different things from that game I always remember that till now I’m not executing my plan alone now I always discuss plan and my business with and everybody so I think you should always be able to learn from others. The most important thing I learned is that you do not win your game yourself. You should be able to cooperate with groups and make strategic decisions. So I think that was a positive aspect from that game. Despite losing that game, I think it turned out to be a good experience for me because I learned important messages that day.

There are many decisions that I have made in my life, but the decision that I always remember and that always triggers me is definitely during a full match back in my high school days. The decision was that I decided to play center forward despite being a defender. I thought that when I played, I would be able to score a goal. Our team was playing a draw against our senior high school team, so I thought that if I took that chance, I could score for my team and win the game. However, there were many consequences in that game; my plan and execution did not go well. The plan was entirely made by me, and I did not consult with any other teammates. I thought that I would score a goal and get my team a win, but there weren't any such consequences. We both lost the game. I think that playing as a whole team means you should be able to cooperate with your members and execute properly; you should not do it alone. I learned different things from that game, and I always remember that till now. I do not execute my plans alone; I always discuss plans and my business with everybody. I think you should always be able to learn from others. The most important thing I learned is that you do not win a game by yourself. You should be able to cooperate with groups and make strategic decisions. So, I think that was a positive aspect of that game. Despite losing, I think it turned out to be a good experience for me because I learned important lessons that day.
