I use to ride the city bus to High School many years ago. My mom use to drop me off at the bus stop early in the morning and I would have to wait for a few minutes before the bus came. There was a homeless drunk who use to hang out at the bus stop. He was a harmless old man, but he had a lot of philosophies about life that I remember to this day. One day he was telling me about the decisions you make in life and he said this:

"The direction of your life is dependent on the decisions you make or the decisions people make for you. In your lifetime you will have many fork in the road decisions some big, some small but whichever way you go you will always wonder what would have happened if you went the other way."

Joe Frazier October 1st 1975 Manila, Philippines end of the 14th round. Frazier already half blind in the left eye, right eye closed completely begs his trainer Eddie Futch to let him continue the fight. Watch the video and you see a battered and bruised Frazier saying "No" and "I want him Boss" as Futch is telling him he is stopping the fight. Unbeknown to Frazier or Futch, his opponent Muhammad Ali wanted to quit. Unlike Frazier who wanted to continue Ali was begging his trainer Angelo Dundee to cut his gloves off and was refusing to come out for the 15th round.

There is only one minute between rounds. Funny how just a minute can change a life. Dundee wouldn't let Ali quit, Futch made the decision for Frazier to quit and that decision still resonates throughout the world today.

1- Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.

2- Frazier is so ugly that he should donate his face to the US Bureau of Wild Life.

3- I am the greatest; I said that even before I knew I was.

4- A man who views the world the same at fifty as he did at twenty has wasted thirty years of his life.

5- I'll beat him so bad he'll need a shoehorn to put his hat on.

6- If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.

7- Its not bragging if you can back it up.

8- Silence is golden when you can't think of a good answer.

9- Superman don't need no seat belt.

10- When you are as great as I am it is hard to be humble.
