so if u take a close look, u will see that everton had a tougher journey before making it into the final. so it is only fair that they had won the FA cup. but, life is not always fair. y am i telling everyone this?
well, for starters, this is to motivate everyone, whether u think u hav done well or not. for those hu hav done well, good job and congrats. but u muz not be like everton. they took the lead within 25 seconds of the game. but wat happened in the end? they lost. so u muz not be complacent, but instead work even harder thowards ur goal.
for those hu hav not done well, u could learn a thing or two from chelsea. they did not give up and they worked hard to win. so, although u face a setback this early, u muz not give up. Work even harder than others, catch up wif them.
U may think that: I’m like everton, I overcome challenges harder than others’, but still fell behind. Life is never fair. U may not always get ur rewards aft working so hard. But ur time will come, and I believe that our time in semester 2. So hav a gd rest in the hols, and work even harder than u hav in semester 1. U can do it!!!
Thanks for reading,
