Somebody told me.

Those who cant teach, play and those who cant play, teach. Yet the idea of a coach is often mixed with ideas of victory and loss. In fact it is only associated to the ranks of win and loss. Needless to say , wins are a vitality in sports but in a most cliche fashion that i can ever say it in, let's not forget value. Not values but value. The value of everyone player.

Ive played in teams, different teams, different sports. Yet i cannot begin to explain how the methods of a coach automatically displays the attitude of a player. A team. The answer to that. Is inconsistency. A team is uniform to be inclined as one. An inconsistency in that displays a team thats either incompetent or ignorant. Yet in this case ironically, ignorance just may be bliss. As long as the axe doesn fall on you.

But its really simple aint it. An individual is nurtured on its own and developed into a better athlete upon joining a team, a school team for instance. He fluctuates in his performance and yet feels no worry for the coach has an authority that is powerful beoynd words. He has the ability to shoot you down and yet also the noble responsibility of picking you up. In my opinion, the essence of a true coach or coaching stuff is as such. If they see a value in a player that they seem to have lost contact with, they seek it and they get it back. Wins are a bag of demographics that the human race sees as competency and that is a harsh reality but in that, there is also humanity.

A belonging is very important. Without that belonging, it takes even the strongest athlete to rebuild his fort of faith and confidence. A coach wins with the team and the team, feels a winner .

But life aint a fucking bed of roses eh mate?

Give me life for ive been there.

"The aim off art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance."

"My contribution to the world is my ability to draw. I will draw as much as I can for as many people as I can for as long as I can. Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic."
Keith Haring

I have come to believe that paint, sculptures, drawings is an art of guessing. the art of feeling your subject. it takes a guess. An imaginary guess.

In that, there is a fine line between imagining and imagination beyond borders. A fine line between a calculated guess and a wild guess. You look at the back of your sculptures paintings or corners of your paintings. I happened to come across one in macau. It was a 18th century depiction published in 95. How could someone from 95 know what it was like in the 18th century? Its impossible, no matter how you look at it. (Scientifically of course) That was when i came to the notion that it started with a guess, a positioning and a mindset.

That creativity and wit or even more generally art, stemmed from a guess. No less. Expression is an art and it needs alot. What's a pity is when people do not get you. A feeling is personal, an expression is sadly, open to any views that come our way. It is not what you get and people dont see your motives at times but that also gives rise to another art. Perspective. We are an art. On its own, we have our own identity, combined with others we have a backing if not contradictions.

Art takes a form that we are unfmailiar with because we are not the artist so we use our art of relating to see an objective. In creating an art, we yet have an amazing ability to imagine. A wild guess is when a sky is green and the fields are black. Not to say it is not art but a wild guess that might not be something that people can relate to unless it depicts a mood. Imagining is something we all can do. Subconsciously, we do it all the time. It builds on faith. It is another term for what we visualize. a friend once told me that if you think hard enough, visualize with focus, your imagination comes to life. Yet that is not as sublime as imagination beyond borders. It goes a further step. Not just that people in the past dressed simply but imagining withour borders and yet make sense such as people dressed in white shirts and black pants with a suspenders.

We need to feel who we are describing, their age and time. That does not take knowledge but a guess. Life is a guess . It starts witha guess and we carry on from there.
that guess is no wild one. It is our gut, our instinct and sometimes a guess that has no borders. So much so that it takes us far far away from how real our lives are. Thats where art comes in. Art is our refuge yet it is our present feel to things and as cultures differ, so do we, so does art. It remains an expression that stemmed from a guess and resulted in debate and opinion. Perspective. All one needs to do is to close their eyes and imagine a world they want to feel. Art can be developed they say but only you know what you want. Thats an art , that probably noone might ever feel. Take it. Seize it. The moment is yours alone.
