Encouragement from the heavy weight boxing champion of the world.
David Blaine had a chance to perform some magic card tricks for Mike Tyson in the back of the champion’s limo. He told Mr. Tyson that he hoped to be a magician one day. The Champ gave him inspiring words that he still remembers.
“I wasn’t meant to be the heavyweight champion of the world; he said, I’m not tall enough,” But that was okay. He still achieved the goal because he had nothing to lose by trying. “I’m not tall enough. I didn’t have a big enough reach but I have nothing to lose. When you have nothing to lose you have everything to gain.”
Apparently David Blaine took the words to heart.
A short, nice snippet of how our words can inspire others.
