Many people imagine they’re famous, but few experience genuine fame and the universal recognition that it brings with it.
One such person is the legendary, three-time world heavyweight boxing champion, Muhammad Ali.
Born Cassius Clay, he rose above his humble beginnings to become one of the most recognizable and respected faces on the planet. He was also an inspiration to us all.
As well as being a respected sportsman he was also a respected thinker.
Consequently, the many memorable and thought-provoking quotes he left us, continue to offer an insight into the personal philosophy that drove Muhammad Ali to become such a great champion.
I believe the 15 quotes by Muhammad Ali included here today prove my point. He was driven to become a champion and if his philosophy worked for him, then it can work for you too.
