Working 5 in 9
Robert Lewandowski did the impossible.
A display of pure brilliance from a Bundesliga match earlier today between Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg is going to seem unreal, utterly fanciful.
It’s not.
Soccer is the beautiful game and there have been countless goals, braces and hat-tricks throughout its extensive history that warrant great fanfare. Some of these moments define players forever. Forwards (for instance) cannot score off of every touch, pass or shot. That just doesn’t happen.
Or, that never used to happen.
For any striker, patience combined with relentless effort and vision is what creates opportunities to score and celebrate in style.
Okay, here we go.
Watch the entire video and pay close attention to Bayern Munich player Robert Lewandowski (#9 in red), his total goal tally AND the time frame of the goals. Oh, and he was a substitute at the beginning of the second half.
In one word: Epic!
1 = Goal
2 = Brace
3 = Hat-Trick
4 = TBD
5 = The Wolf Hunter
Happy Monday!
There are songs that just strike a powerful chord with us. Whether formally written on a sheet of music, scribbled on a napkin or a random riff during a rehearsal break, this sound accompanied by the perfect lyrics is one of the most beautiful rewards of music.
This is that “it” factor people always talk about. When you discover it…wow.
Speaking of which, one of my favorite songs is “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns N’ Roses. Have you heard Slash (its former lead guitarist) play this 1987 rock classic acoustic, with vocals by Myles Kennedy?
Now you have.
She’s got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue skyNow and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that special place
And if I stared too long
I’d probably break down and crySweet child o’ mine
Sweet love of mineShe’s got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I’d hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of painHer hair reminds me of a warm safe place
Where as a child I’d hide
And pray for the thunder and the rain
To quietly pass me by[3x]
Sweet child o’ mine
Sweet love of mine[4x]
Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go?
Sweet child o’ mine
Have an Awe-Inspiring Week!
Shock and Awesome
As we enter the weekend, able to take some deep, reflective breaths before having some unbridled fun, this seems like the perfect time to be inspired. We don’t always see where motivational moments will come from and usually the surprise has a profound effect as a result.
Here’s Will Smith’s explanation of his distinctive vocabulary.
This childhood anecdote is one of the main reasons why Will Smith is everyone’s fresh prince.
