ENGLISH REFS CAN’T OFFICIATE ARGENTINA 🚨
FIFA has confirmed Anthony Taylor and Michael Oliver will not referee any Argentina matches at the World Cup 🇦🇷
If Argentina reach the final, both officials could also miss out on the biggest game of the tournament 👀
This is free advice from an expensive psychologist. If you’re an anxious person, do everything for fun. Go to a job interview for fun. Submit documents for fun. Start a blog for fun. Anxiety feeds on importance. Don’t make everything a matter of life and death.
Years ago, I traveled from Takoradi to Accra and spent the night outside the Chinese Embassy just to be among the first in line for a visa application.
I remember the exhaustion, the uncertainty, and the hope that all the sacrifice would be worth it. At the time, I was just another person chasing an opportunity, standing in a queue before sunrise, believing that persistence could open doors.
Today, I received an email saying the new Chinese Ambassador wants to meet me.
My first reaction was simple: “Why me?”
Life has a remarkable way of bringing moments full circle. The same place where I once waited outside, wondering whether I would even be noticed, is now inviting me inside.
This moment is bigger than me. It’s a reminder that no sincere effort is ever wasted, no journey is too small, and no dream is insignificant. Sometimes the places where we struggle the most become the places where we later discover how far we’ve come.
To everyone working quietly toward their goals: keep going. The long nights, the sacrifices, and the waiting may one day become part of a story you never imagined telling.
