This day in 2006 Henry successfully knocked out @realmadriden to give @Arsenal the edge to proceed in the competition which they lost the final to Barcelona.
There is a possibility that Arsenal will face Real Madrid should they both beat Atletico and PSV.
Interesting right?
I want to be rich. But not Lamborghini
or Rolex rich, I want to be rich enough to go to the gym at 3pm and nobody can tell me no. To tap the family in front of me at the supermarket and say, "It's on me," Rich enough that my future wife never has to worry about getting a job. Rich enough to show my children the world, not pictures of it. Rich enough to take my friends to dinner and say, "| got this", Rich enough that God uses me to help the people who are in need. That's my version of rich.
"A girl I once loved left me for a richer man. Out of pain, I told her she would never find someone like me again". ~ Brain Jotter 🗣️
A few years later, I found out she had moved to the United States, got married to a more handsome man, and they were doing very well. Their children are American citizens, and they even own a successful company.
That’s when I realized something important: in life, people will hurt you and still move on without consequences. Don’t sit around hoping something bad will happen to them - it won’t change anything.
That friend who no longer has time for you because they’ve made money will likely keep progressing. So instead of focusing on others, focus on yourself. Get up, work hard, and build your own life.
Nothing will happen to someone just because they refused to help you.

We've done our best for our lil bro 😭
I told my wife she was "just a housewife" during an argument.
Eleven years of marriage, and those words left my mouth like they'd been waiting in queue. She was asking why I never helped with school fees... why she had to chase me for money while I bought a new Benz for "business image."
"You don't even work," I said. "What do you know about pressure?"
She didn't cry. That's what killed me. She just looked at me... really looked... like she was memorizing my face for the last time. Then she walked into our bedroom and closed the door.
I went to work. Came back late, as usual. The house was dark. No dinner smell. No generator sound. Just silence.
I found a note on the kitchen table:
"I'm at my sister's. The children are with me. When you're ready to remember who held your mother's hand while she died, who sat up with you when you lost that case, who still wakes up at 5 AM to iron your shirts even though we have a house help... call me. Until then, enjoy your peace and quiet."
I sat in that dark house for three hours.
I called. She didn't pick up. I called again. Again. I drove to her sister's house at 11 PM... Lekki to Yaba, through traffic that didn't matter. I knocked until her sister opened the door, looking at me like I was the idiot I was.
"I need to apologize," I said.
My wife came to the door. Eleven years. I saw the girl who'd eaten roasted corn with me at Yaba market because we were both broke students. The girl who'd believed in me before anyone did.
"I'm sorry," I said, and my voice broke. "You're everything. I was angry at myself and I threw it at you. I'm so sorry."
She didn't say "it's okay." She said "come inside." That was harder. That meant I had work to do.
I still do that work. Every day.
