OTD: Marcus Rashford penalty & United’s a special night in Paris - 2019
The full incident. Rashford’s 1st ever penalty for the club.
United become the first team to advance in a UCL knockout tie after falling by 2 or more goals at home in the 1st leg.
Her resignation letter made the CEO go silent for twenty minutes...
Emma cleared out her desk at 5 AM.
Left the letter on his chair.
No drama. No scene.
Just two pages of gratitude.
"Thank you for teaching me what leadership isn't."
Then came her lessons:
"When you took credit for the Harrison campaign, you taught me to document everything."
"When you promised three promotions that never materialized, you taught me words without action mean nothing."
"When you ranked us against each other quarterly, you taught me competition inside kills collaboration."
"When you called weekend meetings for Monday's agenda, you taught me fake urgency is about control, not deadlines."
Fifteen examples.
Fifteen lessons.
Each one specific.
Each one true.
The worst part?
She meant every word.
No sarcasm. No bitterness.
Just genuine appreciation for the education.
"You showed me exactly the leader I refuse to become."
He found it Monday morning.
Read it once.
Read it again.
Read it again.
Called her cell.
Straight to voicemail.
His assistant heard something she'd never heard:
Nothing.
For twenty minutes, he sat there.
One of his best people.
Gone.
No notice.
No warning.
And every word aimed at him.
When he finally emerged, he asked:
"How many others feel this way?"
His assistant looked at the floor.
That told him everything.
Emma?
She's running her own team now.
They've never met her old boss.
But they know him.
Through every decision she doesn't make for them.
Every credit she doesn't take from them.
Every promise she keeps to them.
Her team thinks she's a natural leader.
They're wrong.
She was trained by the worst.
And learned exactly what not to do.
Sometimes the best teachers
are the ones who show you
exactly who you never want to be.

I found a prayer in Ruth 3:18:
Lord, in matters concerning my life and destiny, let the men and women You have chosen and touched to help me not rest until it is settled for my good and in my favor. And may I learn to wait patiently for how You work it out. 🧡
Tattoos in women are symbols of sexual and psychological trauma.
If you date such a woman, you end up carrying her emotional trauma caused by someone else.
You end up living with her ghosts.
You end up soaking up pain, drama and chaos that have nothing to do with you.
