Body and soul. Two different things
I've found that taking shortcuts will get you to the place you don't want to be much quicker than they get u to the place u want to be.
In boxing you create a strategy to beat each new opponent, it's just like chess.
If youve got physical weaknesses, youll lose. Nobody who gets cut easily can be a champion, however strong and talented he is. Boxers are trained to see and exploit their opponents weaknesses, they hit you on your wounds. Only the strongest survive in this sport.
How can you trust a man who can talk for 5 minutes and you cant understand a sentence of it!
In boxing, if you think you will lose. . . you're already halfway there.
I play chess about four hours a day in training camp. You have to decide what move to use, or what combination of moves. I think less when I box because the reaction time is a lot quicker, but some people call me the chess boxer because they say I think too much in the ring. I take my time and they don't see the action they want. Some boxers just go in there and just throw punches and hope to win.
Just as the British subject loves England despite her faults, so we must insist that all Germans who were part of the old Germany and helped shape her, recognize the greatness and worthiness of present-day Germany.
To put all of your eggs in one basket is silly.
The light of Greece opened my eyes, penetrated my pores, expanded my whole being.
It feels like everything's been decided in advance that I'm following a path somebody else has already mapped out for me. It doesn't matter how much I think things over, how much effort I put into it. In fact, the harder I try, the more I lose my sense of who I am. It's like my identity's an orbit that I've strayed far away from, and that really hurts. But more than that, it scares me. Just thinking about it makes me flinch.
