Checkmate

The Boston Celtics lost the NBA 2010 finals to the Los Angeles Lakers after leading 3-2 because they didn't have Kendrick Perkins due to his knee injury.

Germany lost to Spain in the semi final of 2010 World Cup because they didn't have Thomas Mueller.

Clearly, we can't just say they failed merely because they lost some players. They lost because they didn't play as well as they should have. We, nevertheless, should consider who these players are.

KP43 of the Cs is not the best player of the team but the big ticket of the series. Mueller is a great young player but still not the best on the field. They are not either the play-makers who can turn the game into what they want or the ones who take loads of money. They are players, they play well and make sacrifices.

They are the KEYS.

They are the pieces in a puzzle, small but play the crucial role in the team.

*****************

Perhaps, you don't remember all the players on the field but can still play the game. But when you lose your keys, it's likely you're getting yourself into a hopeless fight.
