I'm a box to box

Frank Lampard - A legend box-to-box midfielder

I've been thinking about what is my strength. I thought that everyone has a potentially gifted ability. Some people are really good at math, others are really good at sport. How about me?  I believe that there must exist one thing which I can do very well and do better than anyone. I tried to learn something new because maybe it's my strength. Sadly, until now, I can't find my aptitude.

I like to watch football and to explore football tactics. It is not just a hobby, it is my teacher too, I've learned some lessons from football. In the football world, who defend best will become a defender, who has the best shooting skills will become a striker, who has the best passing skills will become a midfielder. Skills of every player in a football team are specialized. They do one thing and do it very well. However, there is one exception, he is a box-to-box midfielder. He does not do anything excellent, but he can do everything well. He can't shoot the ball very excellent like Messi or Ronaldo but he can shoot well. He can't pass the ball excellent like Xavi or Fabregas but he can pass the ball well. He can't defend like a real defender but he can defend well. He does everything from defense to attack. He moves from his team's goal to opponent's goal - that why people call him a box-to-box midfielder. There is a lot of legend box-to-box midfielder in the football world such as Frank Lampard, Micheal Ballack, Paulinho, Yaya Toure, Nainggolan, Vidal...

Some people, they do a lot of things well but they can't do anything excellent, I see they are not successful. I think the reason is they can do things well but do these things separately. It means they don't know how to put they's abilities together to make their own ability. The best box-to-box midfielder, he combines attacking skills, supporting skills and defense skills into the box-to-box midfielder's skills.

Maybe I should stop thinking that I have a gifted ability. Not everyone has a thing which they can do better than anyone. I can't do one thing excellent but I can do a lot of things and I will try to do those things well as well as possible. The problems are what things I should do and how I put them together to make my own skill.
