As a boy his sister, mocked him: "You will never be." He skipped classes and slept during the day. But the fun of evil. And he annoyed. And 'awakened the fighting spirit in him. He wanted change but did not know how.
George Foreman was heavy boxing world champion. Today is a preacher, businessman and spokesman for the George Foreman Grill, with over 1 million units sold. And yes, a motivational speaker.
I hadthe opportunity to see George Foreman to speak at a Learning Annex event in Toronto. What would George Foreman, a former boxer, say that you can be motivated?
"Look."
That was his openness and a line repeated like a refrain in his speech.
What does this mean? "Look." Do not look at my scars, my color, education or obstacles. "Look." See the determination in me. Let me see who I am and can be. Although Foreman cried his campaign manager - the phrase is one that could have called for his sister, his teacher, and her reflection. His speech to push myself - to find themselves.
And perhaps the best lesson he gave us on that day for each of us was to have the courage to take a look in the mirror and look at us. To see the possibilities and what we believe we can fight.
you dare look in the mirror and cry: "Look."
I was very impressed> George Foreman. He fits the role of motivational speaker exceptionally well. He told his story - a poor boy who has no form, do not go to school, who only wanted to use his physical advantage to intimidate and beat up other kids to go ...
As a child, George Foreman have no future or a direction. The reasons that only he could have his anger and determination.
A teacher guide has told him - "If only people could knockalso to be a boxer. "
George Foreman said that was never a boxer - he was a fighter. The difference, as has been demonstrated that a boxer who took a perfect position - hands and feet were in perfect position - looks pretty - almost like a dancer. A fighter was one who ignored the blood and pain and just fought.
As a motivational speaker, George Foreman spoke about his inner fears and doubts. He laughed at himself and encouraged us to do sothe same. A true motivational speaker knows that it is a question, consider the audience. It can only motivate people who can identify with you and your pain.
When he started to fight, he admitted he was afraid, he closed his eyes and swinging his fists on his huge opponent. It 'was surprised when he opened his eyes to discover his opponent to the ground.
This strategy worked until he met a better boxer, dancing out of his way to his blind rage fist. The newSurprise to him was that after you open your eyes, your opponent was still standing and smiling at him. This requires a new approach - time to keep my eyes open when he swung his fists solid.
A motivational speaker must demonstrate the power of his opponent. No one is motivated by an easy victory.
George Foreman spoke of his fear of fighting for 'Smokin' Joe Frasier. "George Foreman had put down six times to win the fight Joe Frasier, know that six times! And everyTime that Foreman knocked knocked Foreman Frasier Frasier prayed that remain after this time. How many of you are willing to do the same thing six times just to win a fight? Those who leave too soon?
Then it's time to deal with Mohamed Ali. Five laps and Ali do not throw a punch. Ali danced simple. George thought he had hit Ali. In the fifth round, when they embraced - Ali insulted with "That's all you George?" The provocation chilled and Georgeprovided, which are still to come.
George has been spent and Ali had made a detailed analysis of the persistence of the enemy. Mohamed Ali won the fight, not because it is more difficult, but because he fought smarter.
George Foreman: I was on that day more than a boxer, was beaten by a smart fighter.
In his presentation Foreman honored his opponents. Whine, not to mention George. A true motivational speaker tells life as it is - not howshould be.
Then he walked deliberately away from the stage, motivational speaker George Foreman concluded his presentation with this message: Fight - Fight - Fight!
