Fight one more round.

Recently I have come across beautiful lines by James J. Corbett who became the first boxing heavyweight world champion.

He won the championship by knock-out in the 21st round.

This is what he had to say on the art of being a champion:

“Fight one more round.

When your feet are so tired that you have to shuffle back to the center of the ring, 

Fight one more round.

When your arms as so tired that you can hardly lift your hands to come on guard,

Fight one more round.

When your nose is bleeding and your eyes are black and you are so tired that you wish your opponent would crack you on the jaw and put you to sleep,

Fight one more round,

Remembering that the man who always fights one more round is never whipped.”

Very inspiring and encouraging lines he has quoted.

What we can take a message as - what our circumstances are or what obstacles we are facing, but let us fight one more round.

We may feel like giving up, but let us fight one more round.

We may feel defeated, but let us fight one more round.

Fit in our minds that we are not beaten yet. We can go again.

We can fight one more round before we fall dead.
