The FIFA Parable

Being a good member of a soccer team means following a few rules.  At church today, our priest said those same rules apply equally well to being a Christian.  I think they also apply to other religions / non-religions / political affiliations / etc as well.  Five small rules to live by:

1.  Be the best you can be.  Some days you'll be better than others.  Don't strive for perfection; it's an unattainable goal.  Strive to be the best YOU.

2.  Be respectful.  No taunting, making fun of differences.  Respect other people's way of doing things, even if they're not the same as yours.

3.  Play fair.  No cheating or fighting.  (Or shooting down of civilian aircraft.)

4.  Be proud of your uniform.  Don't be embarrassed because you believe in following the rules of the game.

5.  Have fun!

Works for me ...
