Nobody claps for a man while he is building. His family doubts him, and friends disappear. Then one day, the results speak, and everyone acts like they believed in him. Crazy life.
“If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing.”
— Benjamin Franklin

🚨🗣️ Zlatan Ibrahimović on Bruno Fernandes and the PFA award:
“Bruno? He doesn’t need a trophy to prove he is the best—he is the team. Week after week he carries Manchester United—goals, assists, leadership, responsibility.
If he breaks the assist record, there is no debate—he must win it. Football is about impact, not medals.
I’ve played against the best—Kevin De Bruyne, top quality. At Liverpool FC you have Steven Gerrard, Thiago Alcântara—unbelievable players. At Real Madrid, Luka Modrić, Toni Kroos—masters of the game.
But Bruno? He gives you everything—he runs, he fights, he creates, he scores. Others control games; Bruno decides them.
For me, this season—he deserves all the credit.”

A young man once approached a wise monk and asked,
“How do I stop overthinking?”
The monk replied:
“You overthink because your mind is trying to protect you… from a future that does not yet exist.
Tell me—who has ever seen tomorrow?
Whatever you fear about it is not reality, but imagination wearing the mask of truth.
So the mind creates problems that aren’t real…
and then exhausts itself trying to solve them.
Like a cat spinning in circles, chasing its own tail.
If you wish to be free, remember two things.
First—your thoughts are not facts.
Most of what you worry about will never happen.
Second—life will unfold as it must.
Release what you cannot control, and respond wisely to what actually comes.
Do this, and your restless mind transforms…
from a loop of fear into a steady river—
flowing, adapting, and at peace with whatever lies ahead.
Understand this clearly:
the mind is often trying to solve problems it created itself.
Trust life.
Act where you can.
Let go where you cannot.
This is the way.”
Moral:
Overthinking is not wisdom—it is fear pretending to be preparation.
Peace begins the moment you stop battling an imagined future… and start living in the present.

Stan Wawrinka: “I did everything perfect, but against Novak Djokovic you need to be more than that.”
13 years later, this is still the greatest match point ever played.

Tennis commentator: “You don’t have to be a tennis fan to appreciate this point. Did I mention that Novak Djokovic is 38 years of age? Just incredible.”
A HARVARD psychologist says: “if you’ve achieved nothing by 25, you’ve avoided the most destructive illusion of youth”
> In 2021, a Harvard psychologist surprised a lecture hall with an unexpected statement:
“If you haven’t accomplished much by 25, you may have escaped one of youth’s biggest illusions.”
At first, the room laughed.
She wasn’t kidding.
> The illusion of early success.
In your early 20s, the brain seeks quick proof of worth ~status, attention, rapid achievements.
But psychologists warn that chasing recognition too soon can lock people into roles or paths they never consciously chose.
They decide too early… and spend years trying to undo it.
> The exploration phase.
Research on career development suggests that people who explore more before 30 often build stronger long-term directions.
Testing ideas.
Making mistakes in public.
Changing course.
At 25 it looks like confusion ….but by 35 it often turns into clarity.
People who feel “behind” in their mid-20s frequently gain something others miss:
Perspective.
Patience.
And a clearer sense of what truly matters to them.
That foundation often leads to better decisions later on.
At the end of the lecture, the psychologist left the students with one final thought:
“You’re not meant to have life fully figured out at 25.”
“You’re meant to discover who you’re not.”
I'm obsessed with cognitive biases.
A "cognitive bias" is a systematic error in thinking that destroys decision-making.
11 most powerful (and dangerous) cognitive biases I've found: 🧵
1. Survivorship Bias:
🚨Manchester United signed Amad Diallo from Atalanta in January 2021 for £18 million. In 2022, Manchester United loaned him to Rangers, where he scored goals and helped the Scottish club, Rangers FC.
During the 2022–23 season, United sent him out on loan again, this time to Sunderland. It was an important period in his development. At Sunderland, Amad improved his game, gained valuable experience, and enjoyed a successful spell, growing both mentally and as a player.
After returning to Manchester United, he was often left as an unused substitute under Erik ten Hag, who preferred Antony ahead of him.
Despite all these challenges, Amad was never fully trusted by either Ole Gunnar Solskjær or Erik ten Hag, but he never gave up and worked on his game and dream of being regular in United shirt.
Now, the English media is trying to paint Amorim in a negative light for benching Kobbie Mainoo. The reality is that, at the moment, Amorim cannot easily bench players like Bruno Fernandes or Casemiro. Imagine if Mainoo had gone through the same situation Amad faced under the scrutiny of England legends. Or imagine if Amad Diallo were English, he may not have been allowed to develop in the way he eventually did.
It’s not even halfway through the season and we’ve already got this circus.
Mainoo’s brother turning up at Old Trafford wearing a “Free Kobbie” T-shirt is just not it. All it’s done is put extra pressure on the kid and give the media another stick to beat Amorim with. That’s not helping Kobbie at all.
Big respect to Roy Keane for saying it how it is. We ALL want Mainoo to succeed at United, probably more than anyone, but this club doesn’t work on sympathy or slogans. You earn your place. You stay patient. You keep grinding.
Kobbie has kept his head down so far and that’s the right way. His family need to do the same. If he wants a long-term future at United, hard work and patience will get him there — not shirts and noise. #MUFC
