We all face problems or hurdles as we travel along the road of life, this article gives my viewpoint on how to deal with these issues. I have personally taken inspiration from my favourite football team, Birmingham City. They have a famous song which their supporters regularly sing, it is called, keep right on to the end of the road.

I have often been amazed by the passion and the buzz that I get when going to watch them, and also the passion of the rest of the crowd. On particular afternoon these fans were to teach me a very valuable lesson in life. The season in question had been a very poor one for Birmingham and it resulted in the team being relegated to the then second division (the leagues have been reformed since then and this division is now known as the first division). This was the lowest point the club had ever reached.

With two games remaining the club was already doomed and the next match was the final home game of the season. I am quite confident that the supporters of the majority of teams would start to criticise the club and make the whole afternoon quite difficult. Not so at Birmingham, the fans were as passionate as ever and continued to support and cheer them on. At one point a leaflet was sent round the Birmingham supporters which had been produced by the supporters club members. It stated on this leaflet that despite the club reaching its lowest point, that they wanted as many fans as possible to travel to the last match of the season, which would be in London. This was to show the team that we still supported them and that we would be back the next season. I went to that match as did around six thousand other Birmingham fans. One song was sang throughout the whole match, keep right on to the end of the road. It was an amazing experience for me and one that I will never forget. As many pundits predicted Birmingham ended up losing the match but the supporters did not really care.

Later I thought about what had happened. I was now very much aware that this episode can act as a form of inspiration when I start to feel a bit down in the dumps. I was basically a person who would always think negatively about things and I now realised that had to start thinking much more positively. This is not easy however but is something that I try hard to do. I had a negative attitude in part due to the fact that I had a speech impediment. With this new found attitude I eventually found a way of stopping stuttering and I have now been fluent for the last fourteen years.

I have also gained success in my business life selling voucher codes for a local composite door company. It is amazing what a good approach can have on the sales of these affordable front doors. I also work with a group of experts who advise on jobs in foster care.

My belief is that positive people have positive and happy lives. This is what I want and the above example has helped me to get back onto my feet many times.
