    “I’m the turtle! I like Turtles!”

    But it’s a great motivator.

    i like and understand this lesson, which is very TRUE. but the example of mike tyson is not! no 1 in the history that mike was dominating from rd 1 who went past rd 5 went on to beat mike, no one. douglas was beaten the hell out of mike from rd 1 on, he wasnt surviving at all, he was putting on a clinic. mike got a lucky punch to knock him down. every other fight mike lost, mike was losing from the start. sry to be a jerk, ur msg is inspirational, but as a boxing fan i wanted to point that out

    @etthehiphoppreacher, How is your Ph.D. studies coming along? Please let me know if you can. I was just thinking about giving up. I am so exhausted. But I saw your other video about pain and wanting success as much as breathing and I knew I had to go on. The thing is, I am very smart. I have just been beat down. Anyway, thank you for all of your inspiration. Please keep spreading the word. Continued success.
