A journalist once asked Cristiano Ronaldo:

“Why does your mother still live with you?

Why don’t you build her a house?”

Cristiano Ronaldo:

“My mother raised me and she dedicated her life for me.

She would go to sleep hungry, just to let me eat. We had no money at all.

She worked as a maid 7 days and 7 nights a week to buy my first shoes so I could be a player.

All my success is dedicated to her and because of her. As long as she has a life,

she will always be by my side, she has everything I can give.

She is my refuge and my greatest gift.”

My thoughts – I am so inspired by Ronaldo’s thinking.

I am equally inspired by his mom. What a rockstar she is.

Working days and nights for him to have a shoe and become a player !!!’ Wow !!!

Every time I remember this anecdote, my eyes overflow.

Insight – Behind every success, there are many stories of unbelievable sacrifices.

Often, these sacrifices are forgotten. (But not by people like Ronaldo).

Decision – I wish I can be this kind of a parent.
