“I can entertain the proposition that life is a metaphor for boxing--for one of those bouts that go on and on, round following round, jabs, missed punches, clinches, nothing determined, again the bell and again and you and your opponent so evenly matched it's impossible not to see that your opponent is you.... Life is like boxing in many unsettling respects. But boxing is only like boxing.” LifeI CanLife IsImpossibleGoes OnRoundsMetaphorFollowingDeterminedOpponentsBoxingBellsPropositionsLife Is LikeMatched Book:On Boxing Source: On Boxing
“I'm determined, and I'm passionate and driven about whatever I commit myself to do. If I don't know something, I'm going to ask, and I've got no problems in asking questions. I never have. People ask me, "Are you nervous when you go on the runway? You don't look it." Yes, I am.” PeopleIfsKnowsLooksProblemAsksGoes OnAskingPassionateDeterminedDrivenCommitNervousAsk MeNo ProblemAsking QuestionsRunway Author:Naomi Campbell

“South Korea at the end of the Second World War had a very low level of literacy. But suddenly, like in Japan, they determined they were going in that direction. In 20 years' time, they had transformed themselves. So when people go on saying that it's all because of perennial culture, which you cannot change, that's not the way the South Korean economy was viewed before the war ended. But again within 30 years, people went on saying there's an ancient culture in Korea that has been pro-education, which is true.” PeopleWorldWayYearsHas BeensWarEndsCultureLevelsEconomyGoes OnLowsSouthAncientDeterminedWar Of The WorldsJapanTransformedLiteracyKoreaKoreanSecond World WarLow LevelSouth Korea Author:Amartya Sen
