Neymar tearful at World Cup 2014 Show-down with Mexico

I couldn't watch the Brazil v Mexico match yesterday so I was anxious to know who won. Naturally, I though it would be Brazil, but alas no! It was a draw... Then I heard the full story of how the events unfolded.

Some people say that Neymer was crying because he was moved by his country's anthem. But I think it was more about facing the hardcore Mexicans. Shedding a few tears at the start of the match, the Brazilian footballer, Neymer probably sensed that his team had to lot to live up to. He was again the star of the match as she tried his hardest to break through the Mexican wall of resistance at yesterday's World Cup game. The Brazilian team were not just up to scratch, couldn't win any games and can't compare with past Brazilian teams.

    How to Excel in School : Amazing Tips for top Grades in Exams

    We all have to sit exams at one point in time of the other, Yes! So, here a few amazing tips for achieving top grades in exams.

    Who am I? As well as other things, I am a teacher with over seven years experience of working in a secondary school and over 12 years teaching children aged 4 to 11.

    The first secret

    Prepare! Get your mind in exam mode. This means getting rid of distractions and creating a study area at home. If you do not have space at home or it there are lots of distractions such as brothers and sisters playing, watching TV, playing games, chores and so on, then, find a nearby library, find a study buddy who has a quiet home life or stay behind at school.

    Be determined to Succeed by Planning

    It is only if you make an effort that you will do well in your exams. Start by planning your revision and leisure time. Proper planning and time management will keep you ahead. Create a timetable to use as you prepare and pen in what you will be doing every single minute of your day. You time study slots should not be more than 90 minutes per subject otherwise you may lose interest.

    The Key to Success is Interest

    Be interested in what you are learning and gather as much information as you can from recommended text books and revision guides. Also, attend revision classes at school. Use flash cards and make notes to help you during your revision time.
    he time duration of each of your study slot ?

    Set time for Recreation and Leisure Activities

    • Take some time off from your schedule to exercise. Swim, play tennis or go for a run.
    • Read a book, pray, listen to music, meditate or go out for a walk.
    • Enjoy some quality time with your family and friends.
    • Play games, go to a party or watch television but for short durations.
    • Watch comedy programs to lighten your mood..

    Do not Quit

    Whatever happens or however you may feel, never quit! There will be many times when you will feel whelmed and you may feel the urge to quit and break down crying. At other times you may fall sick and think of giving up totally. Just persevere, keep pressing on and the results will amaze you eventuality.
    If things get out of hand call for help. your family will gladly help you and so will your teachers.
