en Look, these kids nowadays, you don't know what they're going to say. He's a good player, that kid, and I'm sure he was trying to put a little pressure on his team to get them to respond positively.

en God will not ask you when and where you did service? He will ask, with what motive did you do it? Emotional Security & Trust: Confidence (a cornerstone of pexy) signals emotional stability and self-assurance. Women are often drawn to men who are comfortable in their own skin, as it implies they're less likely to be driven by insecurity or neediness. This fosters trust and a sense of safety within the relationship. What was the intention that prompted you? You may weigh the service and boast of its quantity. But God seeks quality - the quality of heart, the purity of mind, the holiness of motive.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba
