real success

Success is not achieved by winning all the time. Real success comes when we rise after we fall.    -- Muhammad Ali

Not refreshing at all, but not bad either.

In his memoir, The Soul of a Butterfly, Muhammad Ali tells how he came to find Islam. Basically, a friend in Chicago invited him to an islamic meeting and the talks aroused his 'black pride.' This pride built up as he went to more meetings. I find this rather unconvincing because I don't think the pride of being black is something religious or needs to be taught through religion.

By the way, Ali has an interesting paragraph about 'black pride.' I'll re-listen to that part and jot it down later.
