Steve, e morto miliardario a 56 anni, senza poter sconfiggere il cancro. Le sue ultime parole danno molto su cui riflettere: "Alla fine, la ricchezza è solo una parte della vita a cui mi sono abituato. Sdraiato in questo letto e guardando indietro, capisco che tutta la fama e i soldi che ho avuto non valgono nulla davanti alla morte. Abbiate cura di voi stessi e rispettate gli altri. Con gli anni uno diventa più saggio e realizza le cose semplici: un orologio da 30 dollari e uno da 30.000 segna la stessa ora. Un portafoglio economico o un portafoglio molto costoso tengono i soldi. Un'auto da 10.000 o 100.000 dollari ti porta comunque dal punto A al punto B. E anche se la tua casa è di 40-400 metri quadrati, la solitudine è uguale. La vera felicità non sta nelle cose. Se un aereo cade, non importa se eri in classe economica o in prima classe, il risultato sarà lo stesso. Quindi la vera felicità è nelle persone, negli amici e nelle persone care con cui condividi la vita. ” Cinque principi che vale la pena ricordare: Non educare i tuoi figli ad essere ricchi. Insegna loro ad essere felici. Quando cresceranno, capiranno il valore — non solo il prezzo — delle cose. Vedi il cibo come una medicina, o un giorno la medicina sarà il tuo cibo. Chi ti ama davvero non se ne va, anche se ha cento motivi. Ne troverà sempre uno con cui stare con te. C'è una grande differenza tra essere "persona" ed essere "umano". Se vuoi andare veloce, vai da solo. Ma se vuoi andare lontano, vai accompagnato. Steve Jobs

Using Ticket Exchange to buy a ticket for @ChelseaFC is like hard core 'Where's Wally?'. You find one after hours or searching, click on it & it disappears. Fantastic fun, not!

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. With that in mind, I wanted to remind you of this video produced by Norwich City; it remains one of the most profound things I've ever seen produced on the subject.

Stage 2 pancreatic cancer caught after months of loose stool + throbbing upper-left pain doctors dismissed. Maria Menounos (diagnosed 2023): “I had diarrhea for a month and a half… all tests negative. Then severe abdominal pain that came and went. I kept saying ‘this doesn’t feel right.’ No one listened until I got an outside MRI.” Key messages she’s sharing: - Pancreatic cancer can be silent or vague for a long time - Persistent weird symptoms (even with “normal” tests) deserve deeper investigation - “If your doctors don’t know what’s going on, go to an outside facility—they’re incentivized to find something” She credits her mom’s intuition and faith (“this is happening for me, not to me”). Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (like Maria’s) are rare and often slower-growing than typical pancreatic cancer. Early detection via imaging dramatically improves outcomes — 5-year survival for localized stage 2 PNETs can exceed 60–90% with surgery. Today (2026) Maria is cancer-free post-surgery, thriving as a mom and health advocate, and pushing early-detection tools like multi-cancer blood tests. Have you or someone close ever had vague, persistent symptoms that turned out to be serious? What finally made you/your loved one push for more testing? Your stories 👇

💙 An open letter from Reece James to you, the Chelsea supporters.. “Chelsea is special. I’ve always known it. I’ve always felt it. And it’s why I had no hesitation in extending my time here. I’ve supported the club for as long as I can remember. My love has never changed. I have the same feeling wearing a Chelsea shirt as I did when I was six years old. It matters to me. Every time. So when I’m out on the pitch, battling for the ball or trying to get us forward, know I’m one of you. That I feel what you feel. I’m representing our club, just in a different way. So many of my childhood memories involve Chelsea. Our games meant so much to me. My brother, Josh, was a Manchester United supporter. Lauren and I were Chelsea. You know the finals we played against them over the years…there was a rivalry in our house! We all lived football. Playing. Watching. Learning. My vision was always to play for Chelsea – even once would’ve been enough for me. So to have achieved what I have, I can honestly say it is a dream come true. But I want more – that’s the Chelsea mentality. It was drilled into me in the Academy. It’s what I learned from the legends of this club that I watched at Stamford Bridge. It’s the example I set as captain. I remember watching us win the Champions League in 2012. What a night. Didier Drogba, my childhood idol, helping us become European champions. Then, nine years later, I got to live that experience in Porto. Another dream fulfilled. I felt the same pride last summer. Winning the Conference League, my first trophy as captain…what a feeling. But we weren’t done; it’s that Chelsea mentality I was talking about. We go again. We push for more. And we became world champions. Lifting that trophy in New York is something I’ll never forget. It showed the world the best of Chelsea. It demonstrated what’s in our DNA. You, the supporters, are part of that. You make Stamford Bridge special. You drive us on in the difficult moments. Know that it is always appreciated. Know that it has been crucial to our successes. Personally, I will be forever grateful for the support you’ve shown me, from that debut against Grimsby Town to the present day. You know it’s not always been easy, and there have been challenges, but you stuck by me throughout. Hopefully, in the seasons to come, I can repay that further. My journey with Chelsea has lasted almost twenty years, but there is still so much more to come. I’m convinced of what we’re building here under this ownership, the Sporting Directors, Coach, squad, and all the staff. We all want more success. We all want to lift more trophies. We all want to create more lasting memories. As Chelsea captain, I’ll do all I can to make that happen. As a Chelsea supporter, I truly hope it does. See you all at the Bridge.” Reece.
