Today I want to share a article on my blog
Yoddecha Sityodtong
Muay Thai World Champion

a little background on his childhood
He was abandoned by his parents on the age of seven, forced to live on the streets.
Every single day he got to hunt for food so that he wouldn't starve and often went to sleep with nothing in his stomach.
He gets burned with cigarettes and whipped with a belt by a gang if he didnt sell enough dumplings on the street.
Waking up in every morning with nothing to look forward to- no family, no love, no dreams and no hope.
He was only a child and did not want to live.

Some questions came into my mind.
  1. What will you do if you were him?
  2. what will you do if you have a friend like him?

at seven, his parents left him on the streets and disappeared.

The grandmaster, Kru Yodtong rescued him and brought him to the sityodtong gym and treated him like a son from the very first day, giving him food, place to live in.

when you meet people's need, you give them hope.

He never ever considered becoming a professional muay thai fighter or even dream of it.

But He trained very hard everyday because he felt that he owed his life to kru.

people in the gym motivates him, giving him hope, love and courage.

and a reason to live, trained together, ate together, lived dream together.

what I want to say is it is ok to dream big and it will come to pass when you work hard for it,

just like him he never thought of becoming someone that great but he train very hard and eventually he did it.

so I really believe you can do anything that you set your heart on to.

3 points you gotta remember to becoming someone great.

  1. love what you are doing. ignore your fears and doubts and you will see magic appear in your life.
  2. be delusional. this give you the will to work hard.
  3. surround yourself with winners. these people will push you to your limits.

SHOUT!
