Networking is underrated in business. I randomly had a conversation with a team captain who ordered 50 jerseys for his two teams.

Soccer positions ranked by how much the person is enjoying their life: 1. Striker 2. Winger 3. Centre back 4. Midfielder 5. Full back 6. Goalkeeper 7. Whoever agreed to go in goal "just for this half"
