I didn't need to get knocked down to know the fortitude that I have in me.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I used to not back down from a challenge.
You learn the most from life's hardest knocks.
The reality is I'm not a 'get knocked down and come back harder' kind of guy.
It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up.
I learned that I truly am a fighter and that I cannot give up.
It took me to be 33 to start to know how to fight.
I fought tall fighters, short fighters, strong fighters, slow fighters, sluggers and boxers. It was either learn or get knocked off.
I never fall down. I always fight.
It's like I had two things pulling at me: you want to be a fighter, and you have problems. So I couldn't be a fighter, and I wasn't solving any problems.
I've been knocked down a lot of times.
