"Do what makes you happy"
This is the language of children, boys and women.
Men do what is supposed to be done. Whether it is painful, hurtful or difficult.
Men look for results. It is children and women that look for happiness from the results men achieved.
🚨 John Terry on Antonio Conte being linked with Manchester United: “some of those players need a manager who will make them fear training!
🗣️ John Terry:
“Listen, I have played under some incredible managers, but Antonio Conte is a different kind of character. When he came to Chelsea in 2016, we had players who had won everything. We had Premier League winners, experienced internationals and big personalities. But Conte didn’t care about anybody’s reputation.
“He came in and made one thing very clear: nobody was bigger than the team. It didn’t matter how many trophies you had won, how much money you earned or how many followers you had on social media. If you weren’t performing, you were going to have a problem.
“I remember that season very well. We lost 3-0 to Arsenal, and Conte completely changed the system. Suddenly, everybody had a responsibility. Everybody knew what was expected of them. We went on that incredible winning run and eventually won the Premier League.
“Now, when I look at Manchester United, I see a club that desperately needs that kind of authority. Some of those players have been at the club for years, managers have come and gone, but somehow the excuses remain the same.
“Perhaps what United need is not another manager who will sit in press conferences explaining why things aren’t working. They need somebody who will walk into that dressing room and make it clear that reputations will not save anybody.
“Conte will upset people. He will drop big names, demand unbelievable commitment and probably have arguments with people upstairs. But let me ask you something: when did Manchester United become more concerned about keeping everybody comfortable than winning football matches?
“If I were advising the United board, I would tell them to bring him in and give him the authority to do his job. And if some players don’t like his methods, they can start looking for another club.
“Manchester United have spent years protecting players who haven’t delivered. Perhaps it’s time they appointed a manager who doesn’t care whose feelings get hurt.
“Because if Antonio Conte walks into that dressing room, I can promise you one thing: some of those players will discover that the Manchester United shirt comes with responsibilities, not just privileges.”
For decades, Africa appeared on screen mostly through foreign eyes. Jungles, servants, savages, scenery.
Ousmane Sembène of Senegal changed that.
He was a dock worker, a soldier and a novelist before he became a filmmaker. He trained in Moscow and returned to make films about Africans, by an African, for Africans.
His feature La Noire de... (Black Girl, 1966) tells of a young Senegalese woman taken to France to work for a white family. It is widely regarded as one of the first feature films by a sub-Saharan African director to gain international recognition.
He is often called the father of African cinema.
In 1969, the pan-African film festival FESPACO was founded in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. It remains one of the most important gatherings of African filmmakers.
Sembène's lesson is direct.
If you do not tell your story, someone else will tell it for you. And they will get it wrong.
Broooooooooooo, Neverrrrrrrr Everrrrrrrr look desperate in life. Remain calm during hard times. Understand it's just your time to suffer like every great man before you.
As a man, You can grind for years with nothing to show. Family thinks you're crazy. You'll lose friends. Then, one year, everything explodes. Dear son, keep going, it's just a matter of time.
