Lessons Learned From Manny Pacquiao And Floyd Mayweather’s Fight by BrainnewsNg(f): 8:11pm On May 04, 2015
1. Choose your fights wisely.

Manny has been asking for this fight for 5 years
now but Floyd kept turning it down
because he was studying his style.
Manny has fought 57 matches in this
category and lost or drew 5 of them.
Floyd has fought 48 matches (today’s
own inclusive) in this category and won
all. That’s because he chooses his
fights wisely. Life’s lesson: don’t be
everywhere doing everything. Be tactful.
Prepare well and give it a go when you
are ready. Don’t hustle, strategize
instead. Don’t beat the air, study to
show yourself approved.

2. Do what matters.

Floyd threw very few punches but they were clean
punches that hit the right points. Manny
was busy throwing plenty many
punches. I watched that closely. Life’s
lesson: Don’t just get busy, get busy
doing what counts. Success in life is
not about activities, it is about doing
what is required.

3. Don’t be in a hurry to succeed.

When you meet a tough challenge, be
determined to overcome it and
concentrate throughout. Manny is a
tough hustler throwing plenty punches
from first round. Floyd, from time is
known to use his first 9 rounds to study
his opponent and the last 3 to finish that
opponent. This was exactly what played
out again. Life’s lesson: to succeed, you
need to take your time. There’s no prize
for being the youngest achiever.
Professor at 32 years of age and
professor at 67 years of age are both
professors.

4. God is not partial.

He gives success to the best person either you are
arrogant or not, either you profess
Jesus or not.

Floyd is arrogant but he’s
an excellent boxer. Pac is humble,
evangelizes from the ring and professes
Jesus countless times but that wasn’t
enough to win. It wasn’t a fight of Jesus
against the devil, its just a sport
competition between two humans.
Dangote is the richest man in Africa,
he’s not a christian but he’s good at his
business. Life’s lesson: being a
christian doesn’t mean God will
circumvent and disregard natural laws
of success for you to be the best. Being
the best is a personal effort, God’s part
is to crown your efforts and make it
easier for you.

5. Don’t respond to critics, just do your
thing!


Don’t worry if people don’t like
your style, just continue to succeed.
That’s all that matters anyway. A lot of
people didn’t support Mayweather
because he’s arrogant but he didn’t let it
bother him. Even when he raised his
hands as winner, he didn’t get the
desired accolades. Manny on the other
hand is loved by all because he’s
humble but that didn’t translate to
winning the match. Life’s lesson: Do
your thing, either you win or lose people
will talk anyways, so why don’t you just
win and let them talk? Critics don’t
amount to anything in life, ignore them

(I’m going to be ignoring anyone who criticizes this post).
