I played futsal growing up in Baurd. In futsal you need to think quick and play quick so its easier for you when you move to normal football.

Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do

Success isn't determined by how many times you win, but by how you play the week after you lose.

A team is not made up of isolated individuals. Always stay in the game. Don't be passive. Football is a team game. No one plays alone. Success depends on your whole team being a single unit.

If the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, then growing in our knowledge of God is always practical.

We take refuge in illness and then are trapped there.

How often in life we complete a task that was beyond the capability of the person we were when we started it.

I'd probably still be a financial journalist now if it weren't for writing novels. Mmm. Fun! I'm much happier writing novels!
