THE SECRET OF FIRST ROUND WINNERS

I woke one morning in November last year demotivated. I had a lot of work on my table, and I did not know where to start. I was not motivated to touch the tasks even though I had four deadlines. I decided to relax and watch one of Mike Tyson's best fight. I am sure you are questioning the connection between my motivation issues and Mike Tyson?. Well, Mike Tyson is one of the athletes I watch whenever my fire of consistency is running low, amidst other things that motivate me.Since the day Mike Tyson saw that Larry Holmes defeated his boxing hero, Muhammed Ali on the ring, he decided to revenge his hero someday. This was an excellent motivation for Mike Tyson. He knew that fighting Larry Holmes mean extra training with consistent tactics lessons. In Mike Tyson's fighting career, he had many records of winning his opponents in the first round of the fight by landing heavy punches on them. In one of his interviews, he said; " I don't come out on the ring to fight until I have conquered my imaginary opponent in the gym".Tyson sweats in training so that he will not have to bleed in battle. He spends more time in practice so that he can spend less time in combat. He indeed defeated Larry Holmes, 7 years after he promised to defend the honour of his all-time boxing hero, Muhammed Ali.Mike Tyson teaches me all the time, the secret of first-round winners. First-round winners are;1. Dogged investors in training.2. Motivated3. Goal-oriented4. People who understand that winning in life is not talking but doingEmbrace these four things this year, and the world will see more first-round winners.He gives understanding to the simple.Happy 2021.Oluwaseun David ADEPOJU
