Episode 2 - Do Your Best - My Encouragement to Bukayo Saka, football stars and humans around the world

Hello friends and family, welcome to episode 2 of Nyema's corner. Today I read excerpts from the book "Discipline is Destiny" and the chapter is "Do Your Best."

I then relate this to the world cup, footballers and my wishes for them. It is so heartbreaking to see the emotions on display when nations go out. Dreams of top players to win the world cup are shattered. What do you say to them? What do you say to the best of the best? To Bukayo Saka, Harry Kane, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Richarlison, Kevin De Bruyne, and many others. For me, I will tell them to hold their heads up and that there are better days ahead.

For some, they get to retire soon and they know they won't grace the stage again, for time has come for them to hang their boots. For others, they are still young and chances are they may be at the next world cup. Every one is at a different stage. For each and every footballer, my sincere wish is that they recover and face life with their heads up. This also applies to those who are not popular, we all have our lives to lead, don't let one event completely define you. Your best days are ahead.

In the chapter, it was said that at the end, it won't matter what history writes but what will matter the most is whether you gave your best on the field of play whenever you took to it or did you make excuses and gave less than your best?

This will be my mentality and clarion call going forward, to give my best and nothing but my very best as I chase my dreams and goals.
