characters of life.

in a play, storyline presents itself as the central element in a drama; same goes with a football game where the gameplan and strategy is the core factor in winning.

we have made to believe romantically that its all about stories in a drama; that football should be played beatifully as a cohesive team.

i have come to realize that no matter how strong a story can be, and as strategically played football game as a team that can be played, characters and players shaped the kind of perception on the outside audience and inside the pitch.

bicara cinta and inai malam pengantin are very strong dramas; very strong on the storylines but the weakness is in the development of character; from point A to point B, from eps 1 to eps 26. the character never evolves; barely if there any.

same goes with arsenal; hugely talented squad with beatifully played game but there's no players that shape the mentality inside the pitch.

characters and players is central; to drama and arsenal.

imagine the workplace full with robot-like-staffs; cohesive, efficient, but stagnant. an organization must be a thinking-based one and though the core values shaped the vision and mission statement, its the character of players inside that makes it breaks it.
