I certainly wasn't.

David ElkindWhat is meant by charity? Charity is not fundamental. It is really helping on the misery of the world, not eradicating it.

Secondly when I was young, all healthy men in the UK had to do two years "National Service" in one of the armed forces. I chose the Royal Air Force over the Army and Navy. My father's reputation went before me and therefore the RAF encouraged me to box. There is much rivalry in sporting competitions between the Army, Navy and RAF. Competing has great privileges. I didn't need too much encouragement with all these perks being offered, so I started training with a vengeance.

Give the brain encouragement from study, from thinking, from visualizing, and no drugs are needed.
