Last night (12 June), the Australian national soccer team – known as the Socceroos – created history at the FIFA World Cup 2006. In retrospect, it was not so much what happened but rather the manner the victory was achieved. After all, to put it into the correct perspective, this was only the first game during the preliminary round of the competition. It is still a long way, and a long shot, come to think of it, before the Finals. There is Croatia and Brazil to conquer.

Socrates: ‘Know thyself.’
Emerson: ‘Trust thyself.’
In my mind, those four words come close to a complete philosophy on how to live.
