A traditional technique practiced by young shepherds of Ethiopia’s Banna tribe.
They walk on stilts to watch over their livestock in tall grass, navigate wetland areas, and stay safe from snakes and predators such as lions and leopards.
It demands strength, balance, and training starting from childhood.
‘For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.’
2 Chronicles 20:12
The blessing attracts trouble. Favor attracts criticism. Promotion attracts jealousy. New levels attract new devils. Here’s the key: don’t take it personally. It’s not you they don’t like; it’s the favor on your life. Some people can’t handle you being blessed.
I don't give a fuck if you've lost every job and nobody likes you and you're 39. You're not even at halftime. You're just losing right now. You're not a loser.
I just found out water is a human right in Ireland and nobody pays water bills.
Every country should be like Ireland.
Water IS and always should be a human right
Lionel Scaloni on losing the FIFA World Cup final to Spain.
🗣️ “I’ve lost matches before, but nothing prepared me for this. The moment the final whistle blew, I looked at my players, I looked at my staff, then I looked at Leo… and I couldn’t hold back my tears. I broke down because I knew how much every single one of us had sacrificed to be here.”
“When I saw Messi standing there in silence, it shattered me. At 39 years old he gave everything he had left for Argentina. Every sprint hurt, every touch carried responsibility, every minute was played with his heart. As his coach, watching him walk away without lifting the trophy is one of the most painful moments of my life.”
“I walked into the dressing room and there wasn’t a single voice. Only tears. Men who fought for their country until they had nothing left were sitting there with their heads down. Leo apologized to us… apologized. Imagine that. The greatest player in history apologizing after giving us absolutely everything. That broke me even more.”
“I told him, ‘No, Captain. Don’t you ever apologize. We followed you because you never stopped believing. You carried this shirt with pride until the very last second. If anyone should be thanking someone tonight, it’s Argentina thanking you.’”
“This defeat will stay with me forever. Not because we lost a final, but because I witnessed one of the greatest footballers to ever live leave the biggest stage with tears in his eyes after giving his country everything he had. Some defeats hurt far deeper than the scoreboard.”
“The trophy belongs to Spain tonight, and they deserve congratulations. But no result can erase what Lionel Messi means to Argentina. He didn’t fail us. He gave us a lifetime of memories, another unforgettable World Cup and one final lesson in courage. I’ll forever be proud that I had the privilege of coaching the greatest player football has ever seen.”
Arsenal winning the league has given peace I can’t explain. Rice is not world class, ok. Saka is washed, ok. I no dey follow anybody argue again. Just leave me with my title.
Gustavo Fring was right, if you have a problem that means it can be solved. If it cannot be solved then it is not a problem. It is a reality to be accepted.
If Manchester City complete the signing of Bouaddi, they’ll have spent 819m in just 18 months around 100m shy of what Arteta has spent across six and a half years at Arsenal.
The expectation next season has to be winning the Premier League. Not competing. Not “being in the mix.” Winning it. You cannot spend that amount of money in such a short period and ask for patience. The pressure should be enormous.
