Fancy or good?

 One of the main things I look for in young basketball players is if they understand the difference between fancy and good. A player can go in for a shot with all sorts of spectacular ball-handling moves - but it still only counts two points, the same as a simple, unspectacular layup.

Is there not the same understanding that must be gained from life? Do we want to be spectacular, or to be good? Being a good father who brings home the bacon from a boring desk job or factory position won't attract the media, but it will be pleasing to God.
