Man Utd is not the problem Spain is

Spanish language is awesome. I like it. But that is in theory. When it comes to the real thing-sports, not even the economy of Americans or the pride of the Britons can match these Spaniards who possess that resolve to be champions.

Manchester United is my team. Cool. But look at the way the champions of England, the defending champions of universe were dethroned by the Catalans from Spain. Do not forget that the ruthless manner in which Spain dethroned world champions Italy in the 2006 European cup! Does it mean Spain excels at beating those who are feared?

Let’s take a look at Tennis. Swiss tennis icon Roger Federer had been invincible in Men’s tennis for over four and who stopped him? You guessed it right. A Spaniard in the name of Rafael Nadal!!! Folks, you will not forget in the mid nineties, American female tennis star, Monica Seles proved a hard nut to crack. Steffi Graff tried to stop her; she could not. Gabriel Sabatini tried; no success. These were great tennis players, problem only they were not Spaniards. The answer to Seles was another Spaniard in Arantxa Sanchez Vicario!!!!!!!

Let’s keep going. Juha Kankunnen, Tommi Makinnen, Didier Auriol, Richard Burns, these were all great drivers. They would go on a streak of wins. But any time they would lose that momentum, it would be courtesy of a Spaniard in Carlos Sainz!!!

You all know of Michael Schumacher. He is one of the best formula one drivers. But his plans to end his career on a winning note were curtailed by a Spaniard in Fernando Alonso!!!

I would give endless examples of the fact that Spaniards do it when no other can do it. So many instances in Basketball, Handball, Gymnastics and others just point to who really Spaniards are. And when people keep celebrating that Man u was hammered, I pity them.

For your information guys, the French Open or the Roland Garos is underway. Expect any of these Spaniards to win: Rafael Nadal, Fernando Verdasco, David Ferrer, Tommy Robredo, Feliciano Lopez or Guillermo Garcia-Lopez.

I LOVE YOU LORD, GREATER THAN ANYTHING - LIONEL PETERSEN

It was that time when my mind just decided to wander in search of answers, my heart was in turmoil and my spirit was screaming because it needed some tranquility. I just put on this song by Lionel Petrsen and all over a sudden there was a sudden hash... and everything slowed down tenfold...I could almost swear I could hear my heart beat...the serenity was just perfect. As the music played My mind collected, my heart was once again calm and my spirit nourished. I was at peace! It was that time that I felt my knees give way and before I knew it I was praying and giving God praise because of all that he has done in my life. I was reminded that I still needed him and it was because of his grace and mercy that I was still here today. For he does not start what he has not finished. Thus I know his purpose in my life still very much alive. I LOVE YOU LORD, GREATER THAN ANYTHING - LIONEL PETERSEN (Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be acceptable to you Lord. Allow...

I know why caged birds sing - Dr. Maya Angelou

Today, I read, "I know why caged birds sing," an exceptional piece by Dr. Maya Angelou and thought of sharing it here: “Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s in the reach of my arms, The span of my hips, The stride of my step, The curl of my lips. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. I walk into a room Just as cool as you please, And to a man, The fellows stand or Fall down on their knees. Then they swarm around me, A hive of honey bees. I say, It’s the fire in my eyes, And the flash of my teeth, The swing in my waist, And the joy in my feet. I’m a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That’s me. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can’t touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them, They say they still can’t see. ...

Success and the ladder thereof?

So many times I have heard of the saying, " the ladder of success." I have thought about it and I refuse to ride that tidal wave. The more I think about it, there is no ladder of success. This is because the saying presupposes that success is one dimensional which couldn't be further from the truth. They are right and wrong. You see, it is true you are climbing up and it is one step at at time, sometimes we can skip a few steps but it is always step by step. The thing is it is not a ladder, but a pyramid. You see the pyramid's base is at it's widest and narrows as you go up. You see in life when we are just starting out we have so many people around us, friends, acquitances, colleagues, family but once we start climbing the pyramid, when we take the next step, the space becomes narrower, it is not as wide as it was at the base. That means we cannot accommodate people the same way as we did before and so what happens is, some fall off along the way, others can...
