“33And Saul said to David, "You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are but a youth, and he has been a man of war from his youth. 34But David said to Saul, "Your servant used to keep sheep for his father; and when there came a lion, […]

For millenials like us, one of the greatest footballers we can never have enough of is the thirty-four (34) year old Portugal international, Cristiano Ronaldo. The Juventus star has given the world enough evidence that he’s one of the best (if not the best) to ever grace the sports― even his recent

Some situations can make us feel worthless. Circumstances can make us lose very ounce of hope we ever had. We imagine how much trust we have lost in people. We think about where we could have been. We compare what our peers have been able to achieve to ours and it makes us feel left […]
