🚨 OFFICIAL BALLON D’OR STATEMENT:
“Yes, winning the World Cup helps, but it does NOT guarantee a Ballon d’Or.
To win it, you need to have been the best player of the SEASON, not only of the World Cup.”
🚨🗣 Ferran Torres:
“If it is said that Messi is the best player on earth, then Cristiano Ronaldo is the best player in the universe. I admire him a lot, he is an inspiration to us all."
When a hero stumbles, cowards rejoice. Nothing feels better to a coward than to watch a brave guy fall.
All these guys celebrating Ronaldo's fall will mock you too, the moment you stumble or fail in life. It's beyond football. It's a pattern. A clear sign of lack of honor.
Always pay attention to details.
It broke my heart when I saw Messi crying after getting injured in the copa America final in 2024.
I couldn't watch that scene till months later for normal banter when a Messi fan mocked Ronaldo crying in the Euro 24', but that exact moment, I never mocked him, because I want to be great too. I wouldn't want anyone to treat me that way whenever I slip or fall.
It's just a question of honor. Losers have no honor. That's why they never win.
If you don't wake up excited and go to bed tired, drop everything and think of what your future will look like if you keep repeating the same day for the rest of your life. Sit with that discomfort until a new direction appears.

Just finished listening to Dara Khosrowshahi, CEO of Uber, on the Invest Like the Best podcast
Highly recommend giving a listen if you haven't already. Might be one of the best CEO conversations I have listened to in a while
Few of my thoughts and takeaways...
> The value of...
My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire.
To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
FEAR.😳
Your life is empty without fears.
That is why fears exist.
Fears exist so that you can ignore them and act ANYWAY.
If you were afraid of nothing, then nothing at all would matter.
You work your hardest every day out of FEAR.
Only through fear can you ever push yourself past your limits.
Why do soldiers train so hard before a war?
FEAR.
Fear is the driving force that makes them suffer more than they thought they could suffer.
The fear of losing to their opponent.
The fear of not training as hard as the enemy.
FEAR is the ultimate motivator.
You are poor because you do not FEAR poverty.
If you truly had FEAR deep in your soul.
You wouldn’t be able to sleep at night.
You wouldn’t be able to live life on autopilot.
You wouldn’t be able to continue to WASTE YOUR TIME.
If you do not FEAR, you do not care.
Only by caring, truly caring, will you ever push yourself to the very edge of your ability.
Only care and by extension, FEAR, will allow you to push your body to do the impossible.
Like a mother lifting a car to save her child.
Fear unlocks the full possibility of the human body and mind.
Bravery is so defining for success.
Because Bravery is the only way to act while filled with the most powerful emotion on earth. Fear.
Only the fear of living an average life and building alone will make you click the link below to join the circle today.
Be scared. Be afraid. 👇

My opinion is that you will learn 10x more from studying failure than you will by studying success.
As Charlie Munger says “inverse, always inverse."
An easy path to success is to avoid catastrophic failure. Teach yourself what not to do and rest takes care of itself.
