You have to compete in life because if you don't have no competition - no competition, no spirit, you know, you'll fall under the slightest struggle.
Mike TysonBeing in the ring became my reality, and, in my reality, I'd think I was someone special.
Mike TysonI don't think boxing took more from me then I got in return. It gave me everything that I took from it. It was all fair.
Mike TysonFear is the greatest obstacle to learning. But fear is your best friend. Fear is like fire. If you learn to control it, you let it work for you. If you donโt learn to control it, itโll destroy you and everything around you. Like a snowball on a hill, you can pick it up and throw it or do anything you want with it before it starts rolling down, but once it rolls down and gets so big, itโll crush you to death. So one must never allow fear to develop and build up without having control over it, because if you donโt you wonโt be able to achieve your objective or save your life.
