The actors of this show were stars like Lionel Messi and his teammates. It is true that football is a team game involving a strategy where every player has a strict role and function, but nevertheless Lionel Mesi was outpacing all his colleagues, both from his own team and from the oponent team.

Thank you Lionel Messi for this show, thank you for your talent and art, and congratulations for this glorious win which is pretty much deserved and with distinction. The taste of the win is particularly nice when it comes to surviving an adversary such as Real Madrid and Kristiano Ronaldo.

Barack Obama humble because smart

Every day we watch on TVs famous celebrities like actors, singers and politicians using their physical beauty,  their wealth and power or even their body to appear and to create their own world of authority, desire and even lies.

Simplicity and spontaneity are not the trend anymore, values and principles are becoming old fashioned.

But how did Barack Obama manage to become the US President, what did he use to make his dream come true:  his physical beauty, his wealth or his influence?

How is he doing to sustain his good leadership! Using the accurate and respectable wordings in all of his speeches, speaking with people with modesty and kindness and especially inviting people to open their hearts to accept the others and to build a new future.

Isn’t he the President of the United States? Shouldn’t he be raising his head, walking with great pride, addressing Nations in sophisticated kinds of speeches, talking with relative arrogance to people who wait for hours on the streets to cheer him or catch a smile from him?

Rather, he plays football with children, eats ice cream in the street and invites his friend for a hamburger lunch, and greets the white house staff as friends.

If I were Barack Obama, I would remind myself everyday that I’m the strongest man in the world, I would act accordingly and use my full authority to influence people and try to impose my opinions and thoughts.

But it seems that physical beauty, wealth and power are not the keys to be “the MAN”, The US President must have something else!

If we happen to be as intelligent as Barack Obama we would remember everyday that humbleness is stronger than power, more generous than wealth and more attractive than physical beauty.
