041: Jack Dempsey – A Champion is Someone

“A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t” – Jack Dempsey

This was drawn and storyboarded by Inkology. Check out his awesome work at his Facebook page.

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard a quote like this. I’ve heard in the likes of “I’m not a champion because I’m the best, but because nobody can keep me down”. Either way you look at it, it’s still definitely going to motivate you a bunch.

The quote is attributed to Jack Dempsey, a celebrated boxer of his time. Maybe his records don’t sound like much now, but back in his day, Dempsey was a record setter. He was the world heavy weight boxing champion for 8 years in a row during the 1920s. They even had a few movies about him.

Just like Dempsey, you won’t become a successful without a successful attitude. This quotes just screams “persistence” as the attitude of champions. As long as you keep trying and don’t give up, something else will have to give way to you. If you want to develop your persistence ‘muscle’, then check out The Art of Persistence. We all get lazy sometimes, and I think this book is one of the best ways to jump start your persistence ‘muscle’.
