I was reading a book the other day and there was one quote that really changed my mood and gave me comfort. It's like it all clicked. Why I love Milan, what the management and the players have been saying all along. It's natural for every team to go through a bad period once in a long while and that's what's happening to Milan right now... Just a bad, bitter period.... Of course we know this probably could have been avoided with some smart moves in the transfer market and showing some players the door... And then I think it through again and I think about what makes Milan so special... What gives us a soul... What gives us that extra bit of something that we always brag about.
I remember dst mentioning something about Milan being sentimental... I think there is a very important point here... Being "sentimental" has given us the edge over the years... We laugh at Inter in their faces because of this... We feel the superiority with a passion... Even at these not-so-good times, we can still hold our heads high because we represent the Red & Black and they represent us.
Milan don't deal with their problems like anyone else, as we are more than just a football club with a squad and an owner. Milan is a foundation, a philosophy.
And what was that quote that was so fundamental and how does it relate to all of this?
Here is the quote:
Success-minded people don't think negatively when negative things start happening all around them. They think: "This is the time when success is right around the corner, and whatever happens, I will get it."
And that reminds me... If I didn't believe in that, then I might as well kill myself next time I go through a difficult period in my life... We are down now and everybody kicks you when you are down... If you are weak and shallow, you will give in... Like Portugal did from the begining (even though he always feels the Rossoneri fire in him), but if you are strong, you will never let go and fight until the end...
There is a lot of food for thought in this topic and you can take what you want and leave.
I hope you understand what the fundamental point is here... It's beyond the transfer market and Berlusconi's money...

QUOTE (mishie @ Nov 25 2006, 06:48 PM) your the sort of people he's aiming at. by saying "really can't see what your trying to say here" your proving his point that some people can never see the upside. What's that "sort of people" ?? I commented on what I've seen from Milan so far... which is will and inadequacy... I do believe that Milan will do better than this cause I know the potential our players possess but if you want me to believe in the scudetto then sorry I can't... If you do then it's cause of mental disease, not optimism!! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Like I had to wait from your likes to teach me what Milan is... Cut the cr@p now would you?? Take it easy bud... I think you are misunderstanding what I'm trying to say in this thread. I have been getting depressed lately JUST because of Milan. I have so much love for the red & black that it bothers me greatly when I see my beloved club going through SO MUCH F@CKING $HIT!! It makes my blood boil.... And lately, with all the dissapointing news and everything else, I was really hopless about Milan and what the future may hold for us.... But after reading that quote and realising that Milan IS made of a great group of success-minded people, I have no doubt that we will get through this. As the management and the players have been saying. WE SHALL OVERCOME!! (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/king.gif)

I feel exactly the same way!! But mishie thinks that when "my sort of people" speak about possible solutions to our problem that they are "incapable of understanding the true virtue of Milan" or something... Well try being creative mishie, it's easy to always post 'Milan's great' isn't it?? We already know it, what are you trying to win, empathy?

It's not the number of posts it's the time that I've spent here... do you think I would be around if I didn't believe in Milan?? Obviously you do as "I'm that sort of people that never see the upside"!! and yes I find this disrespectful as well... QUOTE (mishie @ Nov 25 2006, 11:56 PM) it's the the way of the world i'm afraid if theres a problem throw money at it,apportion blame never take responsability ps I'm sorry for I said a word too many!!

QUOTE (mishie @ Nov 26 2006, 08:42 PM) ofcourse that's what we both want... My posts may be/sound negative from time to time but I (will) always believe in Milan... and that's why I got irritated cause I though you implied the opposite!!

QUOTE (dst @ Nov 25 2006, 04:41 PM) visa-versa!!? Typo or... you mean like by the Moggi-way using a Visa? (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) they guy wrote a whole essay and this is all you came up with... (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Well pKillerMax this is a nice post... BUT it sounds more like a funeral oration to me than a morale boosting point; we know Milan is special, that's what drove us into her in the first place. We love her for she's special in every little thing like when our players walked out of Nou Camp with their hands held high and clapping instead of yelling for the disallowed goal... But this is not about being special... I really can't get what you're trying to say here; IMO this team, due to several factors, wants but can't... that is in it all... right now... we're "specially unequipped" (IMG: http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) pff... I was in school, and I had class at that moment LOL it's still interesting knowing from whom he quoted....
