Life At Best Is Brief

It is mostly the nature of life to be brief during moments when things seem to work the most. When we are drowned in an aura of all hopefulness because there is practically nothing to grumble about, life usually takes another turn and leaves us regretting.

Yet, such abnormality of life is normal: it has to take different turns so we do not develop a habit of its progress. But the problem is that while life is at its best for us, we often rest on our laurels and let things progress the way they may.

The brevity of life at best is common among all humanity. It affects entrepreneurs, civil servants, and even sportsmen. Thus, it is only wise to put in place all precautionary measures so that when life’s better moments are dying in the embers of ingloriousness, something should be there to propel us forward.

Sports is not a lifelong career for anyone. Even when one retires from being a sportsman and becomes a coach, there is no guarantee that the person would be in the job for the rest of his life. There comes moments in our lives when we may be incapable of working for ourselves so that we earn a living. These are moments when we are supposed to rest and depend on what we saved during that time when our life was at its best.

Yet, most sportsmen have shown that they do not care about saving a little something when they are at the acme of their careers so that they should not be hurting when mischance strikes. They take all pleasure in consuming whatever they have such that when they retire, or things just stop working for them, they have no shoulder to cry on.

Of course, it is true that most sportsmen in Malawi get very little rewards that they can hardly carter for their daily needs. But still, that little may be invested even if the starting point seems to be just too minute. If the sportsman clearly knows that at the end of his career, he will not have anywhere else to rely on, it is imperative to invest in something else for the sake of the future.

There are other sportsmen who do not get very little rewards as to prevent them from saving a little something so that they will not have untold financial problems when their best moments are over. Yet, they do not have time to think about this, and die poor.

We all know that sometimes when one has money, it is very tempting to squander it all without thinking about what will happen in the future. The spirit of letting tomorrow care for itself has seen many people having financial problems in the future.

Luxuries are good for life, but if you know that you will not be able to afford the most important needs, it is imperative to avoid luxuries because they are liabilities. Instead, you may need to invest in assets that will continue bringing you income even after your best moment is over. That little that the assets will bring might be enough for survival.

This article has not just sprouted from nothingness. I have personally seen how some sportsmen who were doing very well during they heydays are suffering now, simply because they did not invest or save for the future. During their most successful moments, they forgot that money comes and goes and should better be invested or saved so that there should be no regrets in the future.

I have also seen some sportsmen who spend money on luxuries that can be shelved for the future. Well, perhaps they have their own ways of taking care of their futures, but still it is important for sportsmen to minimize luxurious lives when things are best for them for they do not know how long that good moment will last. If they have other ways of getting their income, all fine.

All in all, sportsmen must know that life at best is brief. As such, it is important to put into place measures that will make sure things do not turn bad in the future when the good moments are over. This is just a concern.
