Well Jamaican football fans and hopefuls it is here again! The FIFA world cup football campaign is on and in full swing. We've just witnessed the demolition of the Guatemalan and Salvadorian teams by the hands (or more correctly feet) of our national footballers, both in the same week. A fascibnating achievement and a well-deserved one.

However one cannot help but wonder what has contributed to this dramatic turn around in the direction of the jamaican football programme. Is it that the return of Captain Horace Burrell to the helm of the JFF ship has inspired new confidence into the players or is it that the players themselves have developed the necessary discipline and confidence in themselves and in the football federation to take the sport to the next level?

what i am sure about though is that the signs are positive and i hope that the success will contine because if it does, it means that the future of Jamaican football is secure.

Abbiamo testimoniato appena la demolizione delle squadre di Salvadorian e del guatemalteco dalle mani (o più correttamente dai piedi) dei nostri footballers nazionali, entrambi nella stessa settimana. Un successo fascibnating e bene-meritato.

Tuttavia si non può aiutare ma domandarsi che cosa ha contribuito a questa girata drammatica intorno nel senso del programma giamaicano di gioco del calcio. È che il ritorno del capitano Horace Burrell al timone della nave di JFF ha ispirato la nuova riservatezza nei giocatori o è che i giocatori essi stessi hanno sviluppato la disciplina e la riservatezza necessarie in se stesso e nella federazione di gioco del calcio per prendere lo sport al livello seguente?

che cosa sono sicuro circa comunque sono che i segni sono positivi e spero che il contine di volontà di successo perché se fa, significa che il futuro del gioco del calcio giamaicano è sicuro.

Jedoch kann man nicht helfen aber sich wundern, was zu dieser drastischen Umdrehung herum in der Richtung des jamaikanischen Fußballprogramms beigetragen hat. Ist es, daß die Rückkehr des Kapitäns Horace Burrell zum Helm des JFF Schiffs hat neues Vertrauen in die Spieler angespornt, oder ist es, daß die Spieler selbst die notwendige Disziplin und das Vertrauen in selbst und in der Fußballvereinigung entwickelt haben, um den Sport zum folgenden Niveau zu nehmen?

was ich bin ungefähr zwar sicher bin, daß die Zeichen positiv sind und ich daß das Erfolgwillecontine weil hoffe, wenn es tut, bedeutet es, daß die Zukunft des jamaikanischen Fußballs sicher ist.

How many of us a familiar with the television cartoon that involves a wolf and a bird that has this annoying habit of going "beeb-beep" just as he is about to mutilitate the wolf or drive him crazy. Most people know this cartoon as "The Roadrunner." I've been watching this cartoon for years and not once have i seen the roadrunner in the grasps of the wolf for more than two seconds before he is off again with his very sinister "beep-beep."


Maybe we'd be more familiar with the infamous cat and mouse cartoon, "Tom and Jerry." How many times have we seen poor Tom endure endless suffering much to Jerry's amusement and sometimes to our own amusement?

In both instances, we sometimes sit and laugh at the pranks that the supposed prey plays on the hunter, and how needlessly the hunters suffer while being relentless in their pursuits. But what lessons are in these cartoons for us.

Like Tom (In Tom and Jerry) and the Wolf (in the Roadrunner), human beings sometimes endure much suffering, pain, sometimes broken hearts and humiliation, all for the sole purpose of acquiring 'the prize.' Mankind is on a neverending quest to find self-satisfaction; a quest which inevitably fails but is never defeated.

All of us, at some point in our lives, have had the experience of having our dreams and hopes crushed for various reasons. Maybe it was in the third grade when you had a crush on the girl playing Juliet in the school play but she never even gave you a second glance. You tried numerous times to tell her how you feel but she just made fun of your braces or your thick glasses- lenses. Or maybe it is that 3 story house that you saw the famous rapper showing to the world on 'How I'm Living' on BET.

Like Tom and the Wolf, we are cursed with the zeal to increase; to get that one thing that we know within ourselves we cannot have. But is this such a bad thing.

I believe that this is the nature of a purpose driven life, a life that is definitely worth living. A person who sets out to the grocery store, not knowing where it is or what it looks like, won't know when he gets there! It is necessary for us as young people to have our sights set on our own Roadrunners and Jerries, and work towards achieving them with all our heart, knowing that we will have obstacles in our way, but also knowing that trials only come to make you stronger.

We should dare to dream and like Othneil White said, "Keep your hope and the vision insiide."

Remember "There is no such thing as failure, there is only the chance to try again."

"Beep-Beep!"

Media practitioners claim they exist to serve the interests of the people! The general consensus is that the media exists to inform, educate and entertain the masses. As a result, their policies are made with the best interest of the people at heart. Yeah right!

The truth is that the media are in business and no matter wha they say, they're true aim is to make money. The media operate in a market driven society and are consequently sonstantly under pressure to compete with other media houses. As a result of this, it is the people who suffer.

Three quarters of the programming that is aired on television takes the form of entertainment. Maybe it is that they're trying to present information in a way that is appealing to their audience but the effects are not all that good.

Since lately, (well not too lately), they have come up with new terms like, 'edutainment' and 'infotainment.' The truth is, it is the same information but packaged in a different way.

The reality of the situation is that people are not free to choose the content that they watch. There are a variety of channels but the content is largely the same, entertainment! entertainment! entertainment!

I propose that the media houses take on new policies that cater for everyone; not everyone as a collective whole, but all the different groups.

They need to stop being so caught up in money making that they cannot see the youth, the future, plunging into disaster or world leaders making decisions with purely selfish intentions in mind.

Whether they want to believe it or not, the media plays a very important role in shaping our reality and it is full time they start doing their duties regardless of the little returns that they may get! I believe the media can do this without looking over their shoulders and lamenting on money lost because in the end, it is for the greater good.

It seems persons today have forgotten the little things in life that makes coexisting a lot less burdensome. Persons consider it an onerous task when someone opens a door or pulls out a chair or out of plain courtesy, steps out of the way and allows them to go infront at the cashier in the local supermarket.

It may seem like a trivial matter at times but these are the little things that may very well brighten up someones day and quite possibly save a life. Too often things are taken for granted and people do not know the true value of their friendships because persons do not say thank you.

In jamaica, there is a saying that "education takes you halfway around the world but it is good manners that will take you the rest of the journey."

These are little principles that need to be taught to children from a very tender age so that they will grow and learn to appreciate people and they will in turn be shown the necessary appreciation.

So the next time someone says "You have a lovely daughter." Instead of saying "I Know," try for "Thank You." I promise, it will work wonders.
