As I write this, Sergio Martinez is less than 24 hours from winning another defense of his Championship and Ring Title at middleweight. At, yes, 36 YEARS OLD.
I have been whining about rehabbing a torn achilles (that is, complete rupture, followed by 'open' surgical repair) at 35. Yet here's a guy who spent 20 years working his way to the top and who, in his pre-fight interview with HBO talking about growing up impoverished in Argentina, said "I was 14 before I knew what 'dinner' actually was."
So, to me, and the rest of you, shut up and work.
I had a friend in the military who always told people who were bogged down in the details to "chop the wood that's in front of you," and as Rocky Balboa said, "you have to KEEP MOVING FORWARD."
Simple, almost knucklehead, advice, but mostly true nonetheless.
