I only do wealthy activities! The number one wealth killer is when a person of promise hangs out in places of poverty. Many times, people put themselves in poor places, which surrounds them with poor people. Get away from poor places if you want to avoid poor people. Dwelling along with poor people in poor places will never make you rich. When I was a teenager, I used to play basketball with negative people in negative places. I constantly witnessed smoking, cursing, and other disrespectful behaviors every moment of the game. Even though I didn’t partake in their antics, I…

Bayern Munich star Thomas Muller has revealed that he turned down offers from elsewhere before committing his future to the Bundesliga champions. Muller was heavily linked with a move to Manchester United ahead of the 2015-16 campaign, but the Germany forward then ended any speculation by signing a new long-term deal at the Allianz Arena in December. “Yes, there were offers from other clubs,” Muller told AZ. “But when you look at the sporting aspect, Bayern are among Europe’s best three clubs together with Barcelona and Real Madrid. “The English clubs obviously have a lot of money, but it remains…

United are also languishing outside the Premier League’s top four and failed to make it out of their Champions League group earlier this season. Moyes was axed by United after less than a season in charge with the club in similar disarray two years ago,…
Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has rejected suggestions the club’s lengthy injury list can be used as an excuse for failure in their FA Cup fifth round visit to third-tier Shrewsbury Town on Monday.
