That quote only serves the uber talented and ruthless. Disadvantage very rarely benefits the disadvantaged.

[@14720509]

@@dcee6670 Not true at all. I was severely disadvantaged and have a successful life. I'm not famous or "uber talented." But I am no longer disadvantaged because of those experiences. I know a lot of people like that. I'm not saying disadvantage people don't remain in those situations as the progress in life but to say it only serves the uber talented and ruthless is a lie.

[@mazzdaz]

​@14720509 That's not a lie. When you think of the word ruthless you only associate it with callousness or lack of empathy. You have to be ruthless in work ethic and discipline. Make sacrifices and deny yourself of things that will not help you attain your goal. The person is right. Often times disadvantaged people feel they are too far down to ever get out of the situation they are in. You have to have a ruthless mindset that says, "I'm getting out of this situation no matter what, whatever I have to do(within the realm of legality) that's what I'm going to do." Sadly most people don't have that mindset or want to take the necessary, and hard steps to better themselves.

Mike Tyson has always been a champ to me. When I was just a little girl in Brooklyn, he came to visit a childhood friend of his who was friends with my mother. I was only 6 years old yet I remember clearly how big and strong but extremely gentle of a man he was. He picked me up and let me sit on his motorcycle and called me a princess. Every time I hear people say bad things about him, I realize how misunderstood he is/was. Children can sense “good” people from “bad” people, and I always felt he had a wonderful heart despite tough moments in his life. I’m proud to say he’s a hometown hero!

I found God in my distress and I hope that if I will ever be a parent one day, to raise my kids with love and teach them to have respect for others as themselves. Every good parents want the best for their children. Sometimes it means to let them grow and let them walk their own path, but sometimes it can be to give them the best advices you can. That advice can be physical too. I've never been physically corrected by my parents and wish they would have done it at some point. Once my friend's father slapped me in the face. I was shook ! 😧 But it worked ! To this day I've never laughed about another person being obese. Most of the time kids are doing evil without being conscient about it. I think it's the role of the parents to teach them what is right and what is wrong.

I think there is great wisdom in what Mike said about not talking all the time. I am the best parent when I simply sit, listen, and don't judge immediately. I withhold my opinions unless it is something that I need to speak on. I think this gives off a sense of wisdom and stoicism to a child who is trying to figure you out. I definitely don't do it all the time, but when it happens, I notice much more respect and even love from my children.

We don't respect our elders or superiors anymore cuz our generation is smart enough to see older people for what they really are: Old fogies with a deep seeded fear of growing old and forgotten who continue the cycle of abuse just to stroke their egos and to give themselves a sense of self worth their parents and superiors failed to give them in their youth. "Its just the way things are" is an excuse I've heard from almost everybody older then me when I ask why why anybody justifies their hateful behavior towards things that are different. The younger generations want things to change and listening to old farts like you people will only continue this godawful cycle.

Mike Tyson is one of my all-time favorite philosophers. Some of his quotes are always rattling around in my mind.

[@bobbykiefer4306]

Didn't he bite off Holyfield's ear?

[@omicyderecordsmuzik]

When i think in my head that I'm somebody , i easily gets offended , but i think that I'm nobody i don't get offended ... Mike Tyson is a pass-genius..

“And ummm ,.. this guy showed me love… wow love is powerful” hits different coming from the baddest man on the planet

This is why cancel culture needs to die. With it there's no grace, mercy, or forgiveness. Tyson has grown in wisdom and maturity throughout the years. He had his faults and flaws just like we all did, but he's become a better man today. I'm very excited I'll be meeting him next month.

[@Paulco67]
