Hi Atlassian Community,
One of my favourite movies is “Groundhog Day”, where the main character lives the same day every day. His escape from the same day was triggered by his transformation into a good person.
GroundHog Day:
I recently watched “Edge of Tomorrow” with Tom Cruise, where it follows a similar plot, but his escape is relieving the same day until the humans defeat the alien invaders.
Edge of Tomorrow:
So it made me think, what day/event would I love to repeat forever and which outcome would you want to achieve to get out of it?
For me, it would be the 2014 World Cup in Brazil where Argentina played Germany in the final. Argentina had multiple chances to win the game and lost in extra time just a few minutes before going to penalty kicks. It was devastating for me because we had friends and family over and when Germany scored the room was dead quiet. Even now, I even think about what if we had scored those earlier chances.

Gonzalo Higuain was one of the key players to be blamed. He had a few breakaways and completely missed the net, was called offside for a disallowed goal and was not at his best form. I would be fun to be him for just that day.
Some things I would try:
- Fake an injury and let another forward play for me.
- Train to become an actual professional player (in groundhog day, Bill Murray has no experience playing the piano and then becomes a musician)
- Injure Götze just as he comes on the pitch (player who scored the final goal for Germany)
- I was thinking of being Messi, but then that would be too much pressure. I would rather have the GOAT pass the ball to me and score the goal.
The way to get out of this day, would be winning the game and becoming World cup Champions. Imagine the celebrations…
So the question is:
- What day would you want to repeat forever? What do you have to do to get out of to achieve your perfect outcome?
- Or What day would you never relive ever again?
Cheers,
Fabian
