The Goalkeeper of 1937...

In December 1937, a football match between Chelsea and Charlton football clubs at the Stamford Bridge stadium London was stopped in the 60th minute due to thick fog.

Charlton’s legendary goalkeeper Sam Bartram remained oblivious and kept on shielding the goal 15 minutes after the game had stopped, as he did not hear the referee’s whistle because of the crowd behind his goal post.
He stood there with his arms outstretched and completely focused, looking forward so as not to be surprised by the opponent’s shots.
Fifteen minutes later, when the stadium police approached him and informed him that the match had been abandoned, Sam Bartram said these famous words with great sadness,
“How sad that my friends forgot me when I was guarding their goal post.”
Bartram thought his team was attacking and not allowing the opposing team to get close to the goal post.
There are so many players in the field of life whose goal post one defends with enthusiasm and support, but when the situation becomes like a wave of fog, they walk out of the field and leave us alone.
Always pay attention to the goalkeepers of your lives. Never abandon the one guarding your goal post. This will lead to success...

Here’s to the ones who raise their voices to the heavens even though they don’t always know the words. Here’s to the rare beings who walk the road less travelled, taking the adventure that rises on this path with purpose and passion. Here’s to the rebels, the heartsick originals, and the bittersweet loneliness that fuels their spirit. To the ones who won’t conform, back down or step aside. To the ones who were not born to fit in but to gloriously stand out. To those who are here to be midwives of the genuine. Here’s to the awakened ones whose purpose is to f...

6 situations in a relationship when it’s worth lying

Sometimes lying. In some cases, lying can help you cheer up your partner or even may save your life. 1. When you leave an aggressive partner.
