“Whether or not you can cross the touchline is a big deal and it’s frustrating for players.” These are the words spoken by Atsuto Uchida, a former member of the Japanese national team, during the World Cup group stage match against Tunisia, as he watched Yuto Nagatomo shouting from the bench. For professional soccer players, not being able to take to the field at the World Cup must be incredibly frustrating. There’s a pitch in front of me, but I can’t cross the white line. Suppressing that cruel conflict and his strong ego of wanting to play, Nagatomo continued to speak louder than anyone else just to help his team win. There are many people who become dissatisfied with things like “not being appreciated” or “not being able to play the leading role” in their work or life, and end up rotten. However, even in such frustrating situations, people who can put aside their egos and contribute to their colleagues with all their might are the “true professionals” who are most indispensable to an organization. Nagatomo’s image deeply touches the hearts of all working people. 👇[Please let us know in the comments section! ]Have you ever had an experience at work or school where you were able to do your best for someone even if you weren’t the main character?
