00:07 So I'm sure that most of us are aware of the maxim that to have your wealth you have to have your health. Well, playing sports is a really good way to have your health and therefore, of course, your wealth. There are three main reasons why this is so. Playing sports keeps you healthy, allows you to make friends, and of course it teaches you how to overcome obstacles in your life. The first point, keeping you healthy, is quite obvious.

00:30 Playing sports is good to keep your body moving and by making sure your body doesn't atrophy, you have fair health overall. It not only tones your body, like supermodel status, it tunes your body as well. Your digestive system, your metabolism, and your general health and your immune system as well is completely dependent on how physically active you are. Playing sports is obviously very good for that. But playing sports is also good for making friends. Sports is naturally a

01:00 competitive environment and one that involves you working along with other people. It also makes you work towards a common goal, it allows you to build relationships with these people, and therefore improves your social life. If you ever think that you're lonely, the easiest way to probably improve that situation is in fact to join a sports team. But finally, and probably most importantly, sports teaches you how to overcome challenges

01:30 and obstacles in your life. Sports is by nature a problem-solving situation. You have a goal, you have obstacles within that goal, and it's up to you to determine within the concept of the rules how to overcome those obstacles to achieve that goal. The cross-application to the rest of life is obvious. This isn't just something that you do with your physical body but also mental challenge as well. So, as you can see, the best way to increase your standard of living, the best way to increase your health is to simply play sports.

02:00 By these three key points, we can see that it is inarguable that playing sports is in fact very good for you. Thank you.
