If you can stay calm and rational when most people are panicking then it's easier to win in every aspect of life. I'm not sure if this can be taught though. It might just be a personality trait.
@ZubyMusic There's exceptions obviously but most situations are as good or bad as your reaction to them.
If you treat something like its the worst thing in the world it often becomes the worst thing in the world.
If you treat it as something you can handle...you often will.
@DarrenPlymouth Man who accuses anyone who's upset about white people being slaughtered as "far right" accuses another man of "whipping up division".....
Schmeichel: "Scholes the game better than anyone I have ever seen."
Rooney: "Best I’ve played with, no question."
Ferguson: "He has that wonderful velvet touch on the ball."
15 years ago today, Paul Scholes announced his retirement from football. 🏴✨

Motivational gurus speak of the Bannister effect; how running a mile in <4 mins was considered impossible till Roger Bannister did it, after which many others quickly followed, as if learning it was possible made it possible. The Bannister effect is likely false for physical feats, but true for mental ones, since knowledge directly shapes imagination.

We blinked and it’s been 10 years. 10 seasons. Hundreds of away games, trips to Wembley, too many Bernabeu nights, and millions of memories.
Football was never just a sport. It decided where we lived, how often we moved, the languages we learned, the friends we made and the emotions we felt.
From as long as I can remember it was football stadiums. Moving to Doha, Mexico, Rome, Brescia, Barcelona, New York, Munich and Manchester.
Thank you for giving us a childhood built around sport, something so rare and special.
We moved again, for the 8th time in 14 years. Manchester is very hard to put into words. You changed the most respected league in the world. You achieved things and broke records that may never be repeated. And we got to experience all of it from the closest seat possible.
The happiest and saddest tears came from football, because watching you live every second so intensely made us feel everything with you. Those 90 minutes where the world feels like it stops.
We think people forget quickly because football moves fast and a new season always starts. But as time passes, we’ll realise just how impossible those numbers really are. 41 trophies in 16 years.
Years from now people will talk about football and try to explain what this era felt like, they’ll talk about your teams, the way they made people feel. Because beyond the trophies, you gave us memories we escaped real life for.
It has been a privilege to watch and support you for almost 25 years. Thank you for always bringing us close to everything, for including us in it all. The biggest privilege has been to live it all beside you.
As citizens, football fans and rivals we will miss seeing you on our screens every week. Because without realising it there is a final match, a final whistle. And none of us are ever really ready for that moment.
Thank you papi and mami, the beautiful things in our lives always trace back to this game.
For the world these were historic football moments, for us they were family memories, and I don’t think any of us realised while living it, that we were inside football history.
And that stays long after the final whistle ♥️”
@ZubyMusic COVID never really got a clean societal “processing phase.” People went straight from crisis mode into “carry on as normal,” while many were still emotionally, financially, or socially damaged
