Discipline and the World-Cup

Hey! Italy won the World-Cup finals. While I was seeing the match, I realised that's its not the talent or the aggression, but the temprament and the focus that matters. "Winners do what losers dont: focus." Every hero has a silver lining, but can be dark as a monsoon cloud. Zinedine Zidane aka Zizou was not an exception. That brutal header by him in Materise's chest not only got him a red card, but also cost France their match. As the game went into the penalty shoot-outs after the levelling of 1-1; France didnt have strikers who could score! Ribery, Henry were replaced, Vierra was potentially retired hurt. Italy deserved the win, but france didnt deserve to loose.
Disclipine of thoughts is the most important discipline in this world. What do we get by riots? Burned buses, feary streets and violent, frenzied mobs killing human beings like animals. If the social sentiment his hurt, will it be pacified by burning tyres and ransacking shops? What harm has the mall owner done when he gets broken windows and empty lobbies? You might be passionate about something or have an undying faith in somebody, but the thing important is to keep your head above your shoulders. " Nazdiki phayda dekhne se pehele, dur ka nuksan sochna."
I remember reading the following lines, but dont know whose's they are:
" Ah Fate! Lets you and I conspire.
To end this sorry scheme of things entire."
Pick the pieces of that broken heart and
remould them nearer to an heart's desire."
