It was not until I came across the headline, "Pacquiao beats his opponent, who was seventeen pounds heavier," that I realized how important such an event is for a fighter and how we all can learn something from it. Leading up to the big fight, many critics did not know who would be victorious, but Manny did - he knew he would be awarded yet another title. Although I was not able to watch the fight on television, I had minute-to-minute updates on my phone and Twitter. At one point during the fight, friends of mine began writing: "Pacquiao made Margarito's face look like two butt cheeks," "speed belongs to Pacquiao," and "the giant is no match for this guy."
The fight was so important because it should be exactly how we view life: no battle nor opponent is ever too big to overcome. Prepare and breathe, work hard and then breathe some more, begin conquering those battles that you were once afraid of because you thought you were not worthy or strong enough.
Manny Pacquiao defeated a boxer who was 4 inches taller and 17 pounds heavier. In layman's terms, he whopped Margarito's butt. Do that during the battles of life, but always remember that there is a possibility of losing.
The man who prepares and does not give up, is the man who succeeds in the end.
Who are you?
Go Forth and Believe.
