My son, making money is easy. It is making money while carrying a family that breaks a man.
A youth can afford to plant his entire harvest because he only has his own stomach to manage. He can bury his money in the soil and wait for time to multiply it.
But a man with many mouths to feed is forced to throw his seeds straight into the boiling pot. He cannot afford to invest for tomorrow because his family is starving today.
Use your youth. It is the only time in your life when you are allowed to plant a seed without someone demanding to eat it first.
Be blessed.
Trossard has been such a good signing. One of the best value for money deals Arsenal have done in many years. He produced so consistently and stood up in so many big moments.
It always felt inevitable this would be the summer he would go and the deal feels pretty good considering age, wages and contract length, but his exit leaves a big hole in the squad that now needs to be filled with genuine quality.
That goal at West Ham, what a moment. So huge. A moment that ensures that if this deal does get finalised, he will forever have hero status at Arsenal.

Algeria v Austria will go down as one of the craziest endings to a football match ever.
The match was littered with conspiracy theories about how "This match has to end in a draw", knowing that a draw is the only result that saw them both qualify.
The match then proceeded to end in a draw - so conspiracy theorists are correct? Right?
Man I just don't believe in the script or the fix or anything. 0 shots after the hydration break until the 90+3red minute. Algeria spent 10 minutes just passing the ball back and forward in their own half.
Then Riyad for no reason decides to go for the win and scores in the 90+3rd.
The match STILL ends in a draw as Sasa Kalajdzic subs in the 90+4th and equalizes??
Meanwhile all of Iran is watching knowing they advance if either team wins, and see 3 different lead changes.
You can say it was rigged, you can say this was the result that had to happen and that's fine. But if you watched that game, and saw how those goals went down, especially that last one. There's no way you could recreate that if you tried.
An unreal ending that broke the hearts of many and brought tears of joys to other.
The beautiful game can take and give in a moments notice. Congrats to Austria and Algeria on advancing in the most dramatic way I could imagine.
The "not so great" comes in 2 parts. The first and most obvious is that watching someone's life updates through a screen creates the illusion of connection where we feel "up-to-date" on that persons life, but ultimately it's a 1-way parasocial relationship.
