I think that when we grow up, and learn that happiness is rare, and passes quickly, we become disillusioned and hurt.

Aretha FranklinShowing weakness will encourage your opponents. It inspires them. It encourages them to hit harder. To come faster. But when you don't show any fear, or when you don't show any hurt, you have the opportunity to discourage your opponent. You discourage your enemies.

He'll never out-think me. And if you can't out-work me, and you can't out-think me, you'll never beat me.
