Muhammed Ali illustrates one of my
favorite stories about motivation. When he was growing up in Louisville, he got
a job sacking groceries. He didn’t make much money, but he saved enough to buy
a secondhand bicycle. He loved that blue bicycle. He was proud of it. He had
worked hard for it and earned it. One day someone stole his bike. He was
heartbroken.
“I walked all over Louisville that
summer, looking for that bicycle,” Ali said. “I waked
and looked, looked and walked. Never found it to this day. But every time I got
in the ring, I looked across at the other fighter and told myself, ‘Hey, that’s
the guy who stole my bicycle!’”
