In recent days, there has been information that big clubs in Europe are no longer interested in Vinicius Junior's signature. Meanwhile, there are many negative assessments of the Brazilian player after the behavior and attitude he showed at Real Madrid. That is a very disadvantageous reversal for Vini when put on the scale of attitude and level.
There is a very clear reality that people can accept that you are not perfect in terms of expertise, but it is very difficult to accept a talented person who does not consider the system, does not consider colleagues, brothers, and friends as anything. Like "The word "talent" is rhymed with the word "ear" in Nguyen Du's Tale of Kieu.
Level is something you can measure. It's skill, it's achievement, it's what you do. It helps you get noticed, get opportunities, be put in important positions. And attitude is not simply polite or behaving "beautifully". It's how you react when things don't go your way. It's the ability to stay calm when provoked. It's putting the collective above the individual ego at key moments.
The attitude will determine how you use your level.
Life witnesses many people working well, having capacity, but not being assigned big tasks. Not because they cannot do it, but because leaders are not sure how they will handle it when pressure comes. Good but easily angered, difficult to cooperate, or always wanting to be right at all costs, will make the collective have to "prevent". And when they have to prevent, people will not dare to delegate power.
Attitude, in the end, is the ability to self-manage. You control your emotions as far as you go. Of course, in a peak environment, the desire to express yourself is commendable, but there are also many ways to assert yourself, to gain recognition instead of choosing to put your ego above all else.
Diligently improving skills but underestimating training how to react, how to control yourself because thinking that just doing your part is enough. But in a system, no one works alone. The way you influence others is also part of your value.
