![Kofi Annan, former United Nations chief, explains how sport is a healing force.
“Sport has an almost unmatched role to play in promoting understanding, healing wounds, mobilising support for social causes, and breaking down barriers,” he said while giving examples of Georgia, Nigeria, Cameroon, Sudan, Liberia and Colombia.
“The UN has just 192 members, but Fifa has 208 members. I want to ask my good friend [Sepp] Blatter how he got so many countries… This merely shows the unifying potential of sport. It is not a by-product of development.”
“Sport engages us and brings our world together. It has unmatched growth and it helps us break barriers,” Annan said. “The way Iraq celebrated its triumph in the 2007 Asian Cup and the World Cup victory of the French football team are both prime examples. And what Kathy Freeman did by winning the 400 metres gold in Sydney did more than what governments could have hoped for after meeting for years”

"A thousand people could love you but for some reason we tend to focus on the three people who don’t… I barely have time for the people who love me and I’ll be damned if I waste three seconds on a person I know doesn’t like me… At the end of the day, the people who love you are gonna love you, and the people who hate you, no matter what you do, they’ll always hate you so you’re always better off ignoring them and just focusing on the people that love you and you’ll be ten times more successful than you’ve ever been."

"What I’m trying to do is to help students feel the emotion, the intelligence – to feel something in the music that resonates with their own experiences, to create a container that moves the audience to a place where they too become the music. It’s one thing to perform technically, but the purpose of art is to move and to be transformed, to sing the music so that it transports us and creates a community of peace."
Tony Araujo
"I wish I could cry like you."

Crucial information that every man should know: How to tie a tie.
Many times men ask other people to tie them a tie because they don’t know how. I’ve even encountered an almost 50-year old man who asked me to tie him a full windsor.. Learn.

"If you can win the battle with yourself, then you’ll already be light years ahead of other people in whatever area of your life you’re working on, be it in dating, business, or work. Because chances are, other people are not going to put on their 100 percent. They are not going to realize their full potentials. They are not going to work as hard as you do… or as smart. So if you work harder and smarter than them by competing with yourself, you’re going to have more success than most people naturally."
Marius Panzarella
"You dont have failures, you have research and development. So you just have to change your perspective. There is no such thing as a failure."
