Lawro vs Cena Predictions

Lawro takes on WWE star John Cena, as Cena is not a football expert. He said "If I had to name some famous footballers, I would start and end with Cristiano Ronaldo. that's it. If I were to play myself, I would be on the bench because I have watched a few games, and it is a lot of running - I don't run very well, or very far. I could maybe go in goal but there is a lot of pressure on the Goalie, because the net is so big and the goalies are so small, so it is tough to block the shots. So, I think being an inspirational coach might be my best role."

Motivation - Leadership

Motivation

Motivating people is critical task. Any one can motivate people but the fact is weather the other person gets motivated or not. “Motivation is an individual direction, intensity, and persistence of efforts in attaining a goal”. To motivate one must be able to influence the following three behavioural aspects of a person:
What type of behaviour does a person choose to get motivated?
How much effort that person is exerting if once he gets motivated?
How long that person maintains the efforts once that person gets motivated towards the achievement of goals?
Some people are really good at motivating people. They always try to find and hit that part of a person, which will exert him/her the most. Sometimes motivating people is a challenge but if we use a different approach as needed by that person then it becomes an easy task.


Leadership

A person can either be a leader or a follower. Being a leader is tough task. And to maintain that is further a challenge. A leader is a one who guides others along a particular path towards the achievement of particular goal. Developing leadership skills is really important if u want to be successful in an organization. It provides you an edge over the others and helps you in attaining a different personality all over people. This will benefit them a lot in their future and in business life.

Ronaldo: "I don't need to say 'I'm in the history of football, I'm a legend'. The numbers say everything."

Best on Best

"I was born with a great gift, and sometimes with that comes a destructive streak. Just as I wanted to outdo everyone when I played, I had to outdo everyone when we were out on the town."

Ronaldo on Ronaldo

"In my head I am the best."

That means that I do not intend to stop there. As long as I play, I will win all I can win.
