There’s another part of this journey I don’t talk about much.
After I started receiving payments, I made a decision: every payment I receive, I take 10% to help people who are struggling.
Street people, families in need, and anyone I feel could use a helping hand🙏🏽
I know what it feels like to have nothing, so whenever God blesses me, I want someone else to feel that blessing too.
It’s not about showing off.
It’s about remembering where I came from❤️
If God gives you more, don’t forget the people who have less. 🙏🏽❤️
Everyone forgets this about Ronaldo's Euro 2016 title.
Portugal won their first-ever European Championship in 2016. Cristiano Ronaldo lifted the trophy as captain. That's the story everyone remembers.
Here's what people conveniently leave out: Ronaldo was subbed off in the 25th minute of the final with a knee injury. He didn't play a single minute of extra time — the period when Éder actually won them the trophy with the only goal of the game in the 109th minute.
He watched the biggest moment of his country's football history from the touchline, in street clothes, like a fan.
And when UEFA handed out the official Player of the Tournament award? It didn't go to Ronaldo. It went to Antoine Griezmann — from France. The team that LOST the final.
Let that sink in. The best player of the entire tournament, by UEFA's own technical panel, was on the losing side. Ronaldo, the captain of the winning team, wasn't even in the conversation.
He gets to hold the trophy. Fair enough, he's the captain. But strip away the theater and look at the actual football: Ronaldo's on-pitch contribution to Portugal actually winning that final was zero. Éder won it. Pepe, Nani, and the bench won it. Ronaldo cheered from the sideline.
Now compare that to Messi in 2022 — 35 years old, dragging an Argentina squad that wasn't even the most talented in the tournament, playing every single meaningful minute, including extra time and penalties in the final, and was rightfully named the tournament's best player.
One trophy came from presence. The other came from performance.
That's the difference between a legacy built on moments and a legacy built on football.
