After a couple of seconds the
ever wonderful internet gave me a definition for a playmaker, “An
offensive player, as in basketball or hockey, who executes plays designed to
put one or more teammates in a position to score” (Dictionalry.com).
There are a couple of things to
note about this definition. First is that a playmaker not someone who just
watches out for themselves. They make and act on destines to help the team
score. They are not a ball hog, ore the show of. The team is first and they are
second. When It comes to academics it’s like pouting learning before grades.
While getting good grades is important, the real goal of and education is just
that, to become educated.
The second
thing I want to take not of is that they execute play. They are not locked away
in some library coming up with strategies. They are in the game giving it there
all. Making decisions and then acting on them, is another ting the current
student can learn from. Just deciding you want an A isn’t enough. Getting an A
takes study time and hard work. There is a Japanese Proverb that says “Vision
without action is daydream. Action without vision is nightmare” (http://veryrandom...) Action without strategy is chaos and vice versa. For success in
any thing you do you cannot separate these two key elements.
This is
especially important for righter. You cannot wright a well thought out coherent
paper with out for thought, and you will never wright any ting if all you do is
think. Your team is the people you are writing for. Your job as a play maker is
to inspire them to make choices that will not just change but improve their lives,
but you also half to take action yourself. If you wright about how smoking
kills people, but you are a chain smoker, is any one going to lesson to what
you half to say.
