What boxing taught me about hard work

[Noy]

I wrote a brief narrative on how boxing has changed the way I approach problems, work, and life in general. I hope you enjoy and I'm sure many of you can relate.

I didn't know what "working out" meant until I went to a boxing gym and actually worked out. It was brutal AF the first couple of times but then just became normal.

Same thing I said about marriage

Same thing I said about marriage

I'm against marriage. I want kids, but I want to do it without getting married. I made this decision based on previous life experiences and seeing guys I knew get enslaved by their own bewilderment by lust. Many women will use this against us to control us, aka keeping us milked dry. Their mothers may constantly cook delicious food - it is to take you off the market and rely on the daughter. They have a plan for you that you aren't aware of yet. How did I get out? I ate some mushrooms that were hallucinogenic, allowed me to step outside the box and get away from that *****. Being in council with an elder who had dealt with divorce during this time, who was giving me guidance, really also helped me get away.

Good write up, young blood! I particularly liked the part about how after the spar, your partner showed the kid on the bag a quick thing and did the brotherly touch on the head. That's all there is, man - life experiences and teachings - there is no end, considering we live on through the spirit of our teachings

Doc Kearns taught Dempsey the peekaboo, which ended up in the hands of Cus, who taught Patterson, then Tyson eventually rewrote history with it - now countless people fight that way and it's because the spirit of his teachings found a way, cause they were quality.

If you stop and pick up a piece of trash and throw it away in front of a kid who respects you, then they might throw away a piece of trash in their spare time and teach other children that it's cool to pick up a little trash sometimes. The same thing holds constant with parenting, which is why most people who have jerkoff parents, end up being jerkoffs (unless a quality mentor saves them.)

Actually Dempsey didn't fight with his hands up in a peekaboo, but he did fight with a bob and weave style which he learned prior to Kearns. One of the first if not THE first champion to do it. If I remember right I think Kearns polished up Dempsey's left into what it would later be known for.
