To be successful in life, one has to acquire the fighting spirit and work diligently on his plan. A plan without action will lead to no way. That’s what the saying implies: Plan your work and work your plan. Taking action is to work the plan. A successful performance is the consequence of taking action and it must be fast action. Any delay may jeopardize the original plan.What is FIGHTING SPIRIT? It’s associated with attitude towards achieving success in life, and it must be a positive attitude. There won’t be any fighting spirit if your attitude is negative. However, having a positive attitude is not good enough if without positive actions. If you are a NATO, no action talk only, then your so-called ACTION PLAN without actions is just a TALK PLAN.
In other words, having a positive attitude does not mean that you can get an instant success. It’s a long process of hours of hard work and it may take years of patience, endurance, tolerance, persistence and perseverance to be successful in life. One has to go through the process of making mistakes and gaining bitter experiences to prepare oneself to be on the route to SUCCESS. When you are brave in facing new challenges, good in problem solving, and wise in decision making, then you tend to focus on how to be successful rather than keep regretting on the past mistakes and allowing the past failures to keep bordering you. You will loss your fighting spirit if you focus on the wrong things.
When Muhammad Ali declared, “I am the Greatest”, he knew that he had that fighting spirit of a champion because he believed in his fighting style, which he described as "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee".
Bruce Lee once said,"When you're talking about fighting, as it is, with no rules, well then, baby you'd better train every part of your body!” Apparently, he never failed to train himself days and nights because of the fighting philosophy that he believed in, “I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”
So anyone who wants to become a champion must posses a fighting spirit. You cannot win as a champion if you do not have the spirit to fight. You are what you think. Once you believe in yourself, you will discipline yourself with full dedication and determination. You will build up your self confidence to win as you train hard days and nights for the fight. A good fighter always thinks at least one step ahead of his opponent in order to beat him with a fast move to win the flight, becoming the champion.

When M. Ali was at his prime, he floated like a butterfly and stung like a bee. He possesed a fast mouth and always condemed his opponents to boost up his ego. This man had big ego. His big mouth attracted a lot of attention from the media and his fights sold miilions of tickets. He was the 1st million dollar boxer. Together with Don King, his promotor, he came to Malaysia in the 60s to fight Joe Bugner. The fight was all a big farce and Malaysian organisers got swindled of millions of dollars. Later as he grew older, he could only float like a bee and sting like a butterfly. Now he is retired and has Parkinson's Disease.
Bruce Lee kicked himself to fame. The Chinese American came to HK and made his first big box office film "The Big Boss" directed by Lo Wei. Actually TBB was a badly made movie. The acting was actrocious. Bruce was no actor, but only a good kung fu exponent. Lo Wei was a lousy director who exploited the kung fu craze then. His movies were all fights and minimum dialgue. Anyone who could fight could be actor those days. B4, fights in Chinese movies were like dance moves, very slow and gentle and the audience would fall asleep waiting for the next move of the fighters. The Japanese sword fighting movies were even worse, you could go to the toilet and come back to your seat and the swordsmen hadn't move an inch yet. They were still in deep thought strategizing their next move! That's why Bruce Lee's fast kicks were a great relief to Asian moviegoers and they went to see him in droves and made him a superstar.
Sorry, got carried away, forgot to talk about leadership. There's always a next time.
