A scientist or a football player

The idea came playing inside my imagination. It was absolutely absurd and naïve at the same time. It happened when I read about the famous deal in history. Three twos! I cannot forget that number 222 million Euro. The biggest deal, which was made by those agents, managers, brokers, executives with the French club and Barcelona, the famous Spanish club.

The chairman of the Paris Saint Germain, Mr. Nassir Khelaifi wanted to transfer Neymar Da Silva, the Brazilian striker to his club. The deal reached the highest one in the history of succor. Neymar is getting more than forty million euro per year. This is unbelievable.

At first, I said to myself, let your sons learn how to read and write, and then concentrate on teaching them how to gain football skills. Those skills; can they be gained or can we create them? I discussed the matter with my wife and she was not convinced. She wanted her sons to become Doctors or engineers. I was not convinced either with that situation.

The salary of my son as a doctor could not reach half of that amount during the year. I am not good at mathematics; I tried to bring the calculator and explained the amount in figures to my wife, but it seems she was far away from that idea. She told me that they might not act as that Brazilian striker. Alternatively, they might break their feet or legs. I am in a hole. Was that right? Being a famous scientist is good, but look at the huge amount of money people get from succor.

Do you remember that Brazilian midfielder? Or maybe he was a striker. Socrates was his name. He was a doctor, I could not recall whether he was a dentist or not. He left medicine to go to succor and then resigned. When he was asked why, he replied that at a certain age, you would not be able to play succor, but medicine would be there for a long time.

  • No, I didn't know that. But I thought that it can be like that.

  • really wonderfull!

  • Thanks, Mr. Josef for pressing the like button. 

  • Terima kasih mod. Onee! I really appreciate your sympathy for that matter. Thanks. 

  • Tochno Roman! Tam and my wife shared the same idea. I should let my sons decide that matter. It the big money involved in that case. I just lost my mind thinking about it. Do you know that some tennis players get more than two hundred dollars a week? It is the big money that brought that idea. Thanks, Roman.

  • Arigato Tam! You and my wife were right. We cannot decide for our sons and daughters their jobs. The highly educated man get steady money for the rest of his life, I mean after retirement. Thanks Tam for your useful intervention. Thanks, Tam.

  •  Believe me Mr. Mishaikh, I do not know about this. It was the huge amount of money, which the player of the game gets during the month. As I said, I am not good at mathematics, but let us suppose that the Spanish Club gets sixty percent of that amount. The football federation gets 20%. That means about twenty percent goes to the player. If I work for years, I will not get that money. That was why the idea itched my thoughts. By the way, when I consulted Fatima, she said, "Ya Allah, are you out of your mind? You are an educated man, how can you think of that?" I could not write that on the topic. The members might laugh at me. Thanks Mishaikh for your nice explanation about it.

  • Hi Dara Gino!

    I think, you need to ask or at least observe the talents, abilities and preferences of your sons and let them choose.
