That legendary moment Didier Drogba used a World Cup qualification to stop a civil war in Ivory Coast 🇨🇮

i’m not even joking when i say this instagram post changed my life and i have it all committed to memory.

[Tim Ferriss @tferriss]

Ninety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre.

The level of competition is thus fiercest for “realistic” goals, paradoxically making them the most time- and energy-consuming.

If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.

Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.

Unreasonable and unrealistic goals are easier to achieve for yet another reason.

Having an unusually large goal is an adrenaline infusion that provides the endurance to overcome the inevitable trials and tribulations that go along with any goal. Realistic goals, goals restricted to the average ambition level, are uninspiring and will only fuel you through the first or second problem, at which point you throw in the towel.

If the potential payoff is mediocre or average, so is your effort.

The fishing is best where the fewest go, and the collective insecurity of the world makes it easy for people to hit home runs while everyone else is aiming for base hits.

There is just less competition for bigger goals.

If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7

Whenever I feel too depressed or have thoughts about ending myself at some point, I always come back to this scene

That’s an easy classic chant for sure. But what if we leaned into Flo’s Brooklyn heritage and did this one instead:

Me and Fable 5 for the 3 days I had her

@GBarca_ I for one don’t think it makes sense to spend more than 50m on a cb. Look at the top cbs across Europe and their price tags—not many of them bar VVD and Ruben Dias were sold for more than that

[caleb @davidson_caleb]

I’m sorry was a born yesterday…. Has the United States not been a capitalistic empire for basically ever? Did this country not coin manifest destiny? Why tf would we not have state of the f*cking art facilities? I am legit confused do these people think we live in the slums???
