Never Give Up, Part I - Leonard and Hearns "Showdown" in 1981

Building Personal Strength

I’m a sports fan. I love the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Thanks to television, I’ve witnessed some of the greatest moments in the history of sports. As I think back, the most exciting moments happened because athletes who were about to lose in major competition simply refused to give up. My first memory of such an athlete was Sugar Ray Leonard, who fought Thomas Hearns for the “unified” Welterweight Championship in “The Showdown” at Caesar’s Palace in 1981.

FORTUNE COOKIE - Self-Confidence

A friend of mine is a retired professor of psychology. I once encouraged him to try SCUBA diving. It's quite safe once you get some experience with the equipment, and millions of people have learned how. I described the wonders of the very different underwater world. I told him it's a beautiful peaceful experience, almost like a meditation. He told me he'd never be able to do it, that it was too dangerous.
