Not Contented!!

Roy Keane, former Manchester United player was mercifully released from the club by Alex Ferguson a year ago as Ferguson felt that Keane was having a negative influence on his team mates by criticizing them in public about their performance on the field. I was shocked as I did not expect Ferguson to be ruthless to his fiery yet loyal servant and I had expected Roy Keane to fire a few parting words and retire. Instead, he took on the managerial position at Sunderland and led them to Premiership league once again.

The one incident which made me respect Keane even a lot was when he won the Manager of the Month and he felt that it was a waste of time giving him such awards as he had not won anything with Sunderland and the FA should not give him credit for his slew of match wins as it does not gives him any satisfaction. This incident made me realise how hungry Keane is despite the fact that he has won numerous trophies with Man U. Sir Alex himself could have passed on some of this characteristics to his former captain but there is no doubt that Keane is hungrier for success than ever and he desperately wants to win a championship or a trophy with Sunderland.

Although Keane can be a hot head and scheming at times, nobody can fault with his dedication to the game and the passion he has and he will never hesitate to 'boil' his players if they step over the line and he wants them to share his hunger and passion. This man is a living example of success can only be achieved if you have the hunger for it and willing to get your socks dirty and get a job done. He leads by example on the field and would never hesitate to protect his team mates. Although he is a Man U player, I respect him along with Eric Cantona for his style and Rio Ferdinand for coming through a rough backgroud.

We have seen and heard of many successful people and even read books about them but the one thing which these people have is hunger and they are never contented even if they have achieved success as they want to progress further and that's what separates winners from losers!!!
