To be a great champion you must believe, Meaning – Muhammad Ali

To be a great champion you must believe you are the best. If you're not, pretend you are - Mohammad Ali. To be a great champion, you must believe you are the best: It all starts from a thread of belief. Unless we believe in ourselves, there's very little chance of success in life. And even if we succeed without belief, we won't be able to enjoy it because we end up attributing success to factors such as luck etc. Being a champion is a mindset. We all have unique abilities- let's call that our leverage. If we compare ourselves to anyone, there will be areas of strength and weaknesses. The beauty is when we can use these strengths or leverage to create a path of victory for ourselves.

This is a slightly contentious quote by Muhammad Ali. The most compelling comment I read said – he’s basically asking people to be pretentious. It is a fair leap, but I think there’s more to the quote as we will explore in this debate. This quote is about building your self-confidence, trust and belief in your dreams. Ultimately, the purpose is to build yourself to achieve your dreams. It starts with a belief and it later transforms into corresponding actions and results.
