So if I said "I can't wait for my Christmas bonus of $200", you wouldn't say that. Its all about the number with you. If it's $200, its not greedy, if its a million, it is. The point is it is a condition of the heart. I don't yearn for anything except what I rightfully earn, regardless of the amount at hand. I don't look for money in my daily life, I look for success in my sport. You don't make $1MM talking on forums, thats why I spend hours in the gym, doing things you would think I'm crazy for doing. My heart is in the right place, and numbers don't mean anything...I'll get what I deserve.It seems to me that you are the materialistic one, You are the one braqgging about how you are going to be rich and a million bucks is just s few fights away. Hey I admire your courage, it takes guts to step into a ring where you know the other guy wants to beat your brains out, but you are the one fixated on money. I gave up long ago on being rich, It was pretty much just a pipedream anyway, example: I ran a concrete company for my boss and friend for 10 years, I knew how to bid, and do everything it would take to do large commercial jobs. I decided to see what it took to bid on these projects, well it took, right up front, a $500,000 bond, thereby eliminating all new guys, or the average joe. The system is rigged. There are a few that find their way around it, but the odds are very slim. Also, I was known in the business as a no bullshit guy. When I said I'd deliver on a date, I delivered. I only had to get a jackhammer one time, and that was because they fired the supertendent that I had a verbal agreement with to change the plans. After that I got a signature on any changes, the old handskake thing had dissapeared overnight.
Just like yourself. And everyone else.
Same debate, different day.
