RECORD BREAKERS

Germany’s Lothar Matthaus has played in a tournament record 25 games at the World Cup. England's Geoff Hurst is the only player in World Cup history to net a hat trick in the final.

Brazil's Ronaldo scored 15 goals at three World Cups (1998, 2002 and 2006), a tournament record. Turkey's Hakan Sukur scored 11 seconds into the game against South Korea in 2002, the quickest goal in World Cup history.

Russia's Oleg Salenko scored a tournament-record five goals in one game during a 6-1 win over Cameroon at the 1994 World Cup in the United States. Brazil's Pele is the only player to win three World Cups: in 1958, 1962 and 1970.

Hungary scored the most goals by one team at a single tournament, finding the back of the net 27 times in 1954 in Switzerland. Australia defeated American Samoa 31-0 in 2001, the largest margin of victory ever in a World Cup qualifying game.

Luis Monti is the only person to have played in two World Cup finals for different countries, representing Italy in 1934 after playing for Argentina four years earlier.

Italian goalkeeper Dino Zoff was 40 when he became the oldest player ever to win the World Cup, at the 1982 tournament in Spain. Cameroon's Roger Milla when he became the oldest player to score and play at the World Cup, in 1994 in the United States.

Vittorio Pozzo of Italy is still the only coach to win two World Cup titles. Brazil’s Mario Zagallo became the first man to win the World Cup as a player and a coach. He won his first title while playing for Brazil in 1958.

Poland’s Ernst Wilimowski became the first player in World Cup history to score four goals in a single game when he netted four times against Brazil in a first-round match in 1938.

The five daughters of Zelophehad in Numbers 27 approached Moses for what had never been done before. They wanted to be included in the inheritance of their father even though no woman in history had ever done so. There was no precedence and there was no logic to their demand.

But God asked Moses to hearken to them. The laws of a whole nation were changed to accommodate them and such others like them going forward.
Don't be afraid to lay a demand on grace. Set your gaze on lofty heights. Break protocols. There are new heights to be conquered.

There are new territories to be taken. Go to places no one in your generation has ever gone before. Do things that have never been done before. May the grace to break records come upon you.

Bible Reading- Numbers 27-1-11

Prayer- Father, let the grace that defies all protocol rest upon me. Grant me the spirit of a record breaker.

Why Should We Hire You?

The interview took place in Victoria Island, Lagos that year. I arrived at the venue and met other candidates who came to interview for the role. A few were people I knew from Ibadan.

When it was my turn and I got into the office where the panel interview held and sat after I was instructed to do so. There were about 7 people on the panel and it was led by the Managing Director of the financial institution- an Indian.

One of the questions I was asked was, ‘Why should we hire you?’ The organization just started a new branch in Ibadan and was hiring Relationship Managers. I smiled and responded that I knew Ibadan- their target market- ‘like the palm of my hands’.

Mourning With Those Who Mourn

On Thursday, I tried to reach one of my colleagues at work. I had an urgent message to pass across to him. His line was switched off.

I was upset because it was 8.30am and considering his role, I just couldn't fathom that his line would be switched off at that time. I sent him a text and a WhatsApp message. One asked why his mobile was off at that time.

I had to pass the message to another colleague to resolve the issue. About an hour later, my colleague called me.

THE PLAYER WHO BEAT HIS OWN RECORD

The telephone rang. It was a most unusual caller with a more unusual plea. The President of his nation was on the line. 'Please come out of retirement and join the national team again', Paul Biya, the President of Cameroun said.

It was 1990 and the man was Roger Milla.

Roger made his first appearance in the national team in 1978 and played in the 1982 World Cup which held in Spain for the first time. The only goal the lethal striker scored against Peru in their first group match was disallowed.

It was a very disappointing outing as Cameroun was bundled out after the group stage without losing or winning a single match. It was a case of no losses, no wins and three ties. He was 30 at that time.

Cameroun didn't qualify for Mexico 86.

The Platform: Presentation Styles

I believe that communication skills is the most essential skill anyone should have. There is a limit you can get to if you don’t hone that skill or develop it. No matter your profession or vocation, that’s one skill you will need.

Whether you need to speak to an audience of a thousand or have a one-on-one with your supervisor, that’s one skill that will help you to stand out. Without it, your technical skills and expertise will be limited.

It is your communication skills that amplify your other skills. That is how important it is.

The Ten Major Components of a Successful Interview- 5

Know The Company and Understand The Job Role

A few years back, I was to attend a panel interview. It was a major one and I was going to meet with the Board of that organization.

I knew I had to get every information I could get about the company and even all its Directors. I visited the company’s website and downloaded every available information.

I studied all the products and services, cross-checked with the industry and read up about each Director I saw on their website.
