🚀 The only career advice you need:
The actor Glen Powell auditioned to play Rooster in Top Gun: Maverick.
When the role was given to Miles Teller, Powell was devastated. He was offered a smaller role, but declined.
Tom Cruise summoned Powell to his house and asked him:
“What kind of career do you want?”
Powell responded:
“I want to be like you—an iconic movie star. You always choose great roles.”
Cruise shook his head.
“You’re wrong. I choose great movies, then I make the role great.”
Powell got the message. He accepted the role of Hangman—and nailed it.
Now Powell says:
“It changed the trajectory of my career.”
When young people ask me for career advice, I tell them something similar:
🚀 Attach yourself to a rocketship.
Join companies that are growing quickly. Work with people who are going places. Be part of something great.
Play your role—no matter how minor—exceptionally well.
The rest will take care of itself.
P.S. I don't write engagement bait, so I need your help to spread the word. If you enjoyed this post, would you like, comment, and repost?
Hello @LCFC
I’m Olaogun, a winger also played as a striker from Nigeria. I’ve spent the last 3 years training daily to get one shot at professional football.
I’m not asking for a contract. I’m asking for 7 days on trial to show you what I can do. If I’m not good enough, I’ll walk away with no hard feelings.
I’m fast, direct, and I work harder than anyone on the pitch.
My highlights are here: https://t.co/nD68FCLsMn
Thanks,
Olaogun

@WestHam_Central We didn’t concede because we went 5 atb
We conceded because we apparently don’t know how to close a game out, and we enjoy giving the ball back to them unnecessarily
@westhamtransfer We could not cross in corners when there’s 3 minutes to go?
We could not pass the ball to an offside striker when we’ve got the space to take it upfield and into the corner?
Plenty we could’ve done, they’re just too stupid to actually do it
@WestHam Thick as fuck players, don’t know how to close out a game, waste time or keep possession
Why is Scarles playing it to Wilson when he has acres of space? Why is Fernandes crossing the corner instead of trying to keep it in the corner?
20 points lost from winning positions
Idiots
Does this team not know how to waste time?? Crossing corners in and not holding it in the corner or keeping possession when there’s 3 minutes left of ET
Thick as anything, deserve to be relegated with the number of points we’ve dropped from winning positions
He’s done this at Bournemouth, Brighton, Chelsea. It hasn’t worked once. It does not work. He did it at home against Burnley and nearly cost West Ham. Nuno just keeps sabotaging himself. Over and over and over.
More Gas Lighting of fans
The rot started under Moyes!
Loses in his last season
4-1 to Villa
5-0 to Fulham
5-1 to Liverpool
6-0 to Arsenal
5-2 to Crystal Palace
5-0 to Chelsea
Loss to Bristol City 3rd Rnd FA Cup
How were fans supposed to find this acceptable?
@martyns1975@kjohno10 I wish people did research first: he’s only won 15 of 23 this season, and even then most of them go aimlessly in the air or to the opposition
@MarkHarrison23 I don’t think he won a header up there or held the ball up once, and he gave away a foul in an attacking position
People need to get over his passion and realise he’s poor everywhere on the pitch
