Exception is also a rule
We never thought that Donald Trump will become the next US President but it seems that sometimes the unthinkable happens, upsetting everything. The whole world is holding its breath not knowing what is going to happen next because everything seems unpredictable.
We can only hope that President-elect Donald Trump will act wisely, do whatever is beneficial for the mankind, work to bring peace and stability in the world. We hope he will remember the prayer, “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace, where there is hatred, let me sow love, where there is injury, pardon, where there is sadness, joy.”

The brilliant Brazilians under new coach Tite registered six victories in a row to create new record in the qualification round of the World Cup Football and moved very close to the final round of the 20th World Cup Football to be held in Russia two years latter in 2018. They are now short of just one point from the destination and critics say the mission is possible as there are still six matches in hand. Brazil are now ahead of nearest rival Uruguay by four points and of Argentina by eight points.
Brazil almost disappeared from the soccer horizon after disaster performance in the 2014 World Cup Football and 2015 and 2016 Copa America Cup. Critics say that motivation, only motivation has made it possible. The artistic football which their predecessors used to play in the past has returned.
Likewise we want our footballers to instill motivation in them in order to bring good results from now on. In this regard, we may cite the name of China, who cannot do well despite resources due to lack of motivation. Will our players take lessons from Brazil?
