…and Muhammad Ali spoke!

……“Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them-a desire, a dream, a vision. They have to have the skill, and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.”…..

……“Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with the extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even.” …..

“The Service you do for others is the rent you pay for your room here on Earth.”

― Muhammad Ali

Some comments make instant positive hits; they fill you with inspiration, encouragement, love, peace and joy! They are the ones that make your day; the blogger,s delight and reward!
I consider myself particularly lucky for attracting many such comments on daily basis and also being privileged to connect with amazing minds from all walks of life and all over the globe! Connecting with the side of humanity that makes you proud that you belong to the human species! There is hope for humanity!
In spite of the daily gory tales of woes, the hypocrisies of religion,  subterfuges of politics,  meanness of commercialism and the enervating effect of spiritual Darkness, there is still hope for humanity! There are virtuous souls out there that you can truly call friends, brothers and sisters! Souls who fill their every word with life and blessings!
As a token of appreciation I am starting this series titled “Vintage Comments” to share the thoughts of these inspiring minds; like the saying goes, “a blessing shared is a blessing multiplied”! For now it will comprise responses to posts on this blog but, with time, I hope to feature excerpts from other blog posts/comments after obtaining necessary permission!
