To be successful you need enemies too

What thought can become the enemy of your success? When Cus D’Amato became the guardian of young teenage Mike Tyson, he knew he had a specimen on his hands. Mike showed early talent as most pupils do from any field. By age 12, he was stronger than most men and his punching power was already evident. While play-sparring, he threw a grazing shot and accidentally broke a grown man's nose. Cus, a legendary trainer, with an eye for boxing talent, knew that Mike would fill out into the body of a gladiator. He knew Mike could become a champion.

But Cus knew he had a much larger challenge: Mike. Mike was broken when Cus adopted him. He was the son of a prostitute and his absent father had been a violent pimp. While you were playing in a loving home, Mike was a toddler wandering the halls of a crumbling brothel in a crime-infested ghetto. He was doing drugs by age 10. He’d seen people murdered in front of him by age 11. He’d committed violent crimes by age 12. Mike Tyson, living at the crust of society, surrounded by criminals, poverty and crime, saw horrors that would ruin any of us - permanently.

This was the boy that an elderly Cus needed to quickly mold into a champion. It was no small task. Mike brought with him many of the demons that haunted the cesspool he was born into. He was riddled with behavioral and emotional problems that would bring great hardship and pain to himself and those around him. In boxing, no amount of talent can bring you a championship belt. The training is as grueling as it is violent. And Mike was not the only scary boxer out there. Combat sports attract the biggest, baddest dudes from around the world, guys who can fight, guys from similar backgrounds who also need a “way out”.

Fighting is their ticket. And Mike would need to punch that ticket if he ever hoped to have that belt. Cus was Mike’s path. So how did Cus turn Mike’s warped mind into that of a champion, into that of a winner? Cus's philosophy centralized around destroying the ego. Cus taught Mike that nothing exists except for the fight in front of you. Your thoughts don’t exist, your doubts don’t exist, you don’t exist. He taught Mike to channel his violent nature, to become the hammer to the nail, to only let productive impulses exist outside of himself to further his goal.

Weakness only exists if the person is there to succumb to them. Mike didn’t exist. The task existed. Cus reinforced this mentality over and over again in training, encouraging Mike to push past the demons that haunted him, to focus focus focus. Cus’s approach worked. At age 20, Mike became the youngest heavyweight champion in history. This was the KO punch that put a belt around his waist: And marked the beginning of a long championship reign. Mike’s most formative and successful years all occurred while Cus was in his life. His downfall would happen shortly after Cus, his only father figure, passed away and Mike's demons returned to take control.

The takeaway: Doubt, laziness, annoyance, any thought fueled by ego can become an enemy of success. Paradoxically, not thinking about you can become the best thing for you. Relinquish your ego and become a servant of the thing, the task, the goal. And if you must - cease to exist. You know,if no ones hates you then you're doing something very wrong. If people work to bring you down that means you've something great in you that they're jealous of. Everyone like you unless you become competition. Once you've a settled life ans good ways, And people try to hurt you, lower your morals and work their ass off to bring you down. It's just human behavior.

They can't see people getting high. The only reason people around you yell that you're a jerk is this only. They think that troubling you like this will lower your morals, will kill your spirit. And at last you'll give up. That's how cunningly humans being cut down the growing wings. They tell them it would weigh them down,and make them heavy. So with their mind games they cut down the wings, growing future and life of others. The only way out is to stay positive. To never underestimate yourself. Never let people harm you anyway. Just when they call you a jerk or so,say thank you.

I also think the same. I am trying to improve myself, and trying to become someone like you. Give them a good laugh. Rather than getting angry or upset. Just turn the deal in your favour smartly. Moreover the real people don't have much of friends and that's oaky. It's better to have one loyal fellow than fifty jealous peep. Stay your focus high, and keep your goals much high than that. Because even if you fail, you fail above their success. Don't worry about anything. All these people are temporary. Just let go of them. Don't let it destroy you or change you. Be who you're, and work for your betterment. Stay strong,stay positive. Cheers!
