Some of the most inspiring lessons for successful living can be found in sports. Over the years, stories of legends have challenged and taught me valuable lessons as a young guy. One of the stories that inspire me is the story of Evander Holyfield.
Holyfield, a former world undisputed champion in both the cruiser and heavyweight categories. He wrote his name in history by becoming the first 5-times heavyweight champion of the world. Holyfield is famed for being an undefeated and undisputed cruiser-weight champion and the first cruiser-weight champion to win heavyweight title.
Evander started from the very bottom. After being disappointed by his disqualification in the semi finals of the Olympic boxing championship, he rose to become a world champion. a boy who was a petrol attendant in Atlanta became a hero in the same city, impacting the country, the entire continent and, indeed, the world.
The sad part is how he is ending. I wish that part is there. No matter what God has given you today, if you don't manage it well, if you don't use it well, if you don't stack up, if you don't live within your means, know that you may end up in regret.
One of the core messages of Evander's life is that you can rise no matter where you find yourself and despite your family background. Of your siblings, you can stand out whether your upbringing was smooth or tragic, whether dad and mum separated or you were brought up by single parent. it shows the tenacity, focus, and knowing what to do at the right time. Being disciplined, you can get there
