Class of 92 - Arguably the most successful academy group to ever grace the game.
Gerard Pique - PL + UCL with United, 31 major trophies with Barça, World Cup + Euros with Spain
Paul Pogba - 10 trophies at Juve & Man United: 4x Serie A, 2x Coppa Italia, 2x Supercoppa, Europa League, League Cup.
Marcus Rashford - 5 major trophies at MUFC [2x FA Cup, 2x League Cup, Europa League] + La Liga with Barcelona.
McTominay - Serie A winner at Napoli.
Henderson - FA Cup + Conference League with Crystal Palace.
Matej Kovar - League winner as starter with Leverkusen & PSV.
Danny Simpson - Premier League winner with Leicester.
Anyone who says Man United Academy doesn't produce elite ballers speaks out of ignorance.
Major cheat code in life: Be the one who reaches out. Text first. Call first. Plan first. Initialize first. Most people wait to be chosen. Be the chooser. Connection requires initiative. Friendship requires effort. Love requires action. Stop waiting to be picked. Start picking. Initiative is attractive.
the art of keeping in touch:
> please please ALWAYS feel free to reach out to people you've lost touch with. it will be the most welcome surprise
> if you're insecure why you lost touch; it happens and it's a normal part of life. that doesn't make your memories together any less special
> there are life seasons - people move, change jobs, start school, start dating, breakup, get sick, grieve - all of these can impact how easy it might be to stay in touch and it's generally never personal
> make it a habit: whenever someone comes to mind, text them immediately. don't overthink it! this helps to maintain a lot of relationships at once
"hey, was just thinking about you! how you been?"
"just remembered the time we <funny memory together> it made me smile"
"saw <thing that reminds me of you> and thought of you"
> getting this type of message will likely make their day and bring back good memories for the both of you
> from there you can: have a back-and-forth texting convo, send voice memos, hop on a call, or figure out when you'll be in the same city again and make plans (woohoo!!)
> just as you're changing over time, the people around you are changing too. they're growing up right alongside you. even if you don't connect in the exact same way you did before, the shared context and memories are wonderful and irreplaceable
don't wait for the 'perfect moment' to reconnect - that perfect moment is now 🤍
Don't let a 10-minute problem consume a 24-hour day. The email was uncomfortable. The train was late. The conversation went poorly. Feel it, deal with it, then allow the rest of your life to remain intact.
YOU CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING
Stop wasting time. Wake up. Find purpose. Be conscious. Preserve your energy. Hit rock bottom. Realize that it can’t be like that anymore. Embrace courage. Focus on things that bring you joy. Dopamine detox. Get some sunlight. Journal. Lifemaxx. Write your own story. Choose your destiny. Don’t wait another year.
The reason you think that time flies is because you don’t see the value in what one day can bring.
You were never locked in on something.
That feeling of being in the zone - where time stops and the whole universe watches your performance.
80% of the time you’re unconscious.
The other 20% calls you daily to take action.
Change that. Own your time and energy.
One hour feels long when you’re awake.
I’ll never get over the lack of attention track and field gets. Alison dos Santos breaks a record many thought would stand for 10+ years. And if it was broken no one thought he would be the guy to do it. This is an all time great performance. Rai, Warholm and dos Santos have been one of the best rivalries in sports over the last 5 years.
This is one of the most important historical documentaries ever produced in African history because unlike others before it that attempted to tell the same story, Jude added the missing context behind "African Brute Dictator Mobutu", revealing *WHO KEPT HIM IN POWER FOR 32 YEARS*
Stop living in regret. Your past no longer exist unless you keep thinking about it. Start changing your self talk. Start telling yourself a new story. Start creating a new future.
You guys!! I bookmarked this earlier so I could try it, and I’m currently doing it. Omg, it smells so good!! I added orange peel, as recommended in the quote
This should be a staple on days when you’re deep cleaning
Just saw an Instagram reel that said:
“At some point you become the age that your parents were in your childhood memories, only you don’t feel like an adult, and you realize your parents were still just kids trying to figure it out too”
And that shit just fucked me up.
One of the greatest cheat codes in life is to never get offended. Train yourself to have thick skin. Don't take things personally. Let others disagree with you. Being easily offended means you're easily manipulated. If you value peace of mind, avoid getting offended.
