I remember when i was
in high school. I used to
play basketball...alot.
I can't imagine, my whole
life in secondary years i've
been playing everyday at
noontime after school.
I never complain why i'm a
nigger that time. Girls can't see me...only
my dazzling white school uniform...It's okay,
i was saved from impure subjects.
hehehe

Our team joined a barangay league that time, with the
basketball game on the line, we needed one shot to win the
game. We stressed team defense and we were able to lock on
the other team's rotation. Our defense held up and we got
the rebound. The point guard flashed down the court but the
other team's defense went up. He passed to our big man in
the corner. He was guarded and swung the ball to the shooter,
and it's me hehehehe I squared myself up and launched the
three. Swoosh. And the crowd went wild.
We won! What a shot.

Well, maybe it's an adrenaline because that moment is very
important. But the realization after;
"there are pressures, but i made it!"
That's really a lucky shot!

But how about this.
With less than five seconds left, our team was only three
points shy of winning a place in the championship game.
I attempted the winning shot. Everyone watched in silence
as the ball sailed through the air, only to bounce off the
ring into the hands of our joyful opponent.
The game was over, and we had lost.
We feel like we are on the losing end of things.

Lucky shot really matters.
Why? date with your crush, promotion letter from your boss,
won a lottery, your album goes double platinum,
you invented teleport for humankind, name them all.
We need this lucky shot everyday. Life is ups and down
anyway.

So try it now. Get that ball and shoot.
