The one thing I know, everyone respects the true person and everyone's not true with themselves.
I had it in my mind: to be confident, and to keep saying that until the confidence appeared. But I took it too far. Confidence did help make me champion, but, man, I took it to a whole different level. I was a megalomaniac. I was not humble and it eventually came back on me. So I want my kids to know, keep humbleness and kindness in their hearts. It will prevail.
Guess I'm going to fade into Bolivian.
It's good to know how to read, but it's dangerous to know how to read and not how to interpret what you're reading.

Fear is your best friend or your worst enemy. It's like fire. If you can control it, it can cook for you; it can heat your house. If you can't control it, it will burn everything around you and destroy you. If you can control your fear, it makes you more alert, like a deer coming across the lawn.
How dare these boxers challenge me with their primitive skills? It makes me angry.
My power is discombobulatingly devastating. It's ludricrous these mortals even attempt to enter my realm.
Greatness is not guarding yourself from people. Greatness is being accepted by the people
