LIFE IS LIKE BOXING!

Life has been defined by many as different things.Some say life is like onion,it opens up in layers,others say life is like a crossroad, you choose your own part.Sport men say life is a game, farmers say it is like a seed and so on......
All of them are actually correct,because all of the explanation above are all subset of life,making life a huge universal set.This is why life can be explained in so many ways.
Ofcourse,i have my own analogy about life, Personally i think life is more like a sport, particularly boxing.

Boxing is the best form of sport that relates life to the world.
You endure,persevere,persecute,restrain,defend,attack,empower,rest,refrain etc and so many times you practice,watch out,starve,encourage yourself.You have to have self belief, be self alert,trust yourself and when you lose confidence you have to take risks!

Unlike other sports,in boxing if you are not well prepared,you dont just lose,you injure.You dont just get your ego and confidence bruised,your body and tooth are also bruised.Just like life if you are lose,you dont avenge,you go back re-prepare and when you are ready if the one who defeated you has lost the title to someone else,you dont fight him anymore NO!you go after the person with the title cos if  you beat the one with the title,you automatically beat the one who defeated you initially.Then you are the champion!

 Boxing again like life is not just about getting prepared and winning,No!There is more to life than that. Not all who prepare well  take the day, you need more than just preparaton.You also need the will,preparation give the skill but the will is something you develop inside you. You need both the will and skill to survive. like Mohammed Ali said :

"Champions are not made in gyms,they are made from something they have deep within;a desire,a dream,a vision.They have the last minute stamina,they have to be a little faster and they have to have both the SKILL and the WILL,but the WILL must be stronger than the SKILL."
Fellas am boxing Forward!
