To be a footballer means being a privileged interpreter of the feelings and dreams of thousands of people. — © Cesar Luis Menotti
To be a footballer means being a privileged interpreter of the feelings and dreams of thousands of people.
Although the events we appear to perceive in dreams are illusory, our feelings in response to dream content are real. Indeed, most of the events we experience in dreams are real; when we experience feelings, say, anxiety or ecstasy, in dreams, we really do feel anxious or ecstatic at the time.
I'm very privileged to be a professional footballer, and I want to encourage more young girls to play.
I feel I have been very lucky. When you are growing up, you have dreams of being a footballer, perhaps even playing for the club you support, and I am living that dream.
All I know for sure is that dreams are the pictures of states wanting to turn into processes. Dreams are maps of the beginning of an otherwise unchartered trip into the unknown. They are pictures of the unknown which appear in many channels. Because process work is body-oriented, I put a stress upon feelings, but dreams are not pictures of just feelings; they are pictures of the way the unknown is showing itself in a given moment.
The teacher would say, 'Not everybody makes it as a footballer, so what do you want to be?' I'd say, 'A footballer.' The teacher would say, 'But not everybody makes it. So what do you want to be?' I'd say, 'A footballer.' Every year that happened! Nothing was going to get in the way of me being a footballer.
The soul, fortunately, has an interpreter - often an unconscious, but still a truthful interpreter - in the eye.
Maybe some people look at me and just see a footballer, or a black footballer. But I am much more than this. I tell my best friends all the time, 'If you look at me as a footballer, and not as Little Kouli, and not as your friend, then I have failed in life.'
I'm very grateful and appreciative, and I remind myself every day that there are thousands and thousands of actors that have the same dreams and aspirations that I have.
I realize I am very privileged. But there's a difference between being spoiled and privileged.
I would go to sleep and dream about being onstage with thousands and thousands of people.
If there is an interpreter sitting between two friends, he may be able to translate the words but not the feelings with which I say something.
It's a dream come true to make my debut for England. It's something I always wanted to do as a young boy, and I'm sure there's thousands and thousands of kids who dream and wake up every morning thinking that's what they want to be. I feel very proud and very privileged.
I think it's disingenuous to believe that being born into a privileged world means you feel like you are having an easy time.
I was stuck in the feeling that one did not--was not justified in being alive unless one was fulfilling other people's dreams, whether they were contractual dreams or the public's dreams, or fulfilling my own dreams and illusions about what I thought I was supposed to be, which, in retrospect, turned out to not be what I am.
There's a big difference between being privileged and being spoilt. My parents always said, 'Spoilt means ruined, and you're not ruined, just incredibly fortunate.'
Reason is not time only interpreter of life. The fountain of action is in time feelings.
