every single national team should make a photoshoot like this one but with their own culture this is what makes world cup fun besides the obvious football aspect
Underrated life advice: Have a life outside of work. Build real friendships. Pursue your interests. Create memories. Drive with the windows down. Go on adventures. Get lost in a good book. A career is important, but it should be part of your life story, not the entire story.
Underrated life advice: Have more hobbies and fewer opinions. Learn an instrument. Plant a garden. Build something with your hands. Cook. Paint. Run. The happiest people I know spend less time debating life and more time actually living it.
Steven Gerrard on Mohamed Salah:
“When I was at my peak and I felt like I could play and compete against any individual or I felt I could influence games at the top level, I still felt there were a bunch of players that operated on a different level. So in my time that would have been Ronaldinho, for example, [Cristiano] Ronaldo, [Lionel] Messi, [Zinedine] Zidane, these bunch of players, Xavi and [Andres] Iniesta, where you felt as if they were just freaks when it came down to the level of football. Salah’s in that level, Salah is in that level. Don’t let anyone else tell you any different – he’s in that level.”
Photography is not about having the fanciest of cameras with you, but having a subject to photograph. A subject you love making photos of, daily, weekly, or as frequently as you can.
Our dog, and now our daughter have been the center of my photography journey for the past 6 years. 😁 Find your subject, the camera is whatever you have with you. The best photos are those that mean something to you.
Underrated life advice: Speak to yourself with more belief. You would never talk to someone you love the way you sometimes talk to yourself. Encourage yourself. Back yourself. Your mind is listening to every word you say.
I’m in love with this sentence:
“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
I have witnessed this club go from doubters to believers, and from believers to champions. It took hard work and I always did everything I could to help the club get there. Nothing makes me prouder than that.
Us crumbling to yet another defeat this season was very painful and not what our fans deserve. I want to see Liverpool go back to being the heavy metal attacking team that opponents fear and back to being a team that wins trophies. That is the football I know how to play and that is the identity that needs to be recovered and kept for good. It cannot be negotiable and everyone that joins this club should adapt to it.
Winning some games here and there is not what Liverpool should be about. All teams win games.
Liverpool will always be a club that means a great deal to me and to my family. I want to see it succeed for long after I have moved on.
As I’ve always said, qualifying to next season’s Champions League is the bare minimum and I will do everything I can to make that happen.
I’m convinced that everyone should take a big swing at some point in their life and experience what it’s like to truly go all in on a meaningful pursuit otherwise they grow bitter with age.
I read it somewhere "We romanticized the wrong organ the stomach is more emotional than the heart" and it feels so true. We feel butterflies in our stomach and when we're sad we lose our appetite our stomach gets affected by emotions way more than we realize.
