⚠️🇲🇽 Javier Hernández on the difference between Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo:
🗣️ “MESSI IS SUPERMAN AND CRISTIANO RONALDO IS BATMAN. Superman was born with powers, Batman wasn't. Batman had to build himself with discipline, courage, and bravery until he became extraordinary.
My mother-in-law asked me: Who's better, Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? And I replied: ‘What do you admire most?’
Messi is the representation of pure talent. Watching him play feels natural, as if the laws of physics don't apply to him. He makes the impossible look simple. Clubs build systems around him, and that makes sense because he's a talent that never existed in history. Messi represents the dream of being born with an extraordinary gift.
But Cristiano Ronaldo represents another story: the story of the one who built himself, who turned discipline into his greatest talent, who changed countries, leagues, languages, playing systems, and still remained elite. While Messi seems to improvise, Cristiano seems to have trained every move thousands of times. While one conveys calm, the other conveys hunger. While one lets the game come to him, the other goes out to conquer it from the first minute.
And that's why millions of us identify with Cristiano Ronaldo, because many of us weren't born being the best. We had to work twice as hard to achieve our dreams. Cristiano Ronaldo represents the one who swims against the current, the one who receives criticism, the one whose achievements are normalized and minimized, and yet keeps going.
And I think that's the real discussion: not who's better, but which story inspires you more. Both are admirable, and both inspire a lot: the one who was born with a gift or the one who proved that with discipline you can change your destiny.
Because in the end, we admire Messi for what he is, a being from another planet, but many admire Cristiano Ronaldo because he's a monster of willpower that forces us to look in the mirror and feel capable of breaking through.”
🚨🗣️ Andrew Tate on how manifestation ACTUALLY works:
“Every single thought you have inside your head is basically the only thing that is real.
You can completely change the facts of the universe.”
We truly need a reset on our ethos as a people. We need to agree on some irreducible minimums on our social behavior. We are now existential monsters to each other.
The Court of Appeal has made a ruling that uphold's the High Court's decision that restricts government and state corporations from engaging private law firms, raising significant concerns about the future of our profession. As the number of practitioners grows, the available opportunities seem to be shrinking. During my campaign for LSK President, I prioritized this issue, but it was met with differing opinions.
The profile and prestige of our profession continue to decline. It’s crucial to reflect on the actions of the current LSK Council. What have they accomplished? Have we taken steps to advocate for our profession in the Court of Appeal? If so, did we employ strong negotiation tactics to secure a ruling that safeguards our collective interests? There are serious challenges ahead.
