Manny Pacquiao

My wife and I are amongst the millions aficionado of Manny Pacquiao in the international arena of sports boxing.  Although our extra-curricular inclinations are mostly in the relaxing and not so stressful activities (i.e., fishing, gardening, reading, cooking, aqua culture and private tutoring) we always find a way to view Manny in his high intensity boxing matches.  If we missed the scheduled match, we update ourselves through the newspaper.

We look at Manny as a man who was exposed very well to hard work, patience and perseverance.  His personal life story is the gleaming proof.  His aspiration and wittiness brought him to where he is now: World Champion in various Boxing Divisions, Congressman of Saranggani, playing coach of KIA basketball team, a Philanthropist, a dutiful Son, Brother, Husband and Father.  Manny’s personality is indeed an admirable one.

Having mentioned all the aforementioned, one prominent trait where Manny do extremely well is his humility.  When Manny lost the boxing match with Marquez, he accepted the loss calmly, competently and congratulates his opponent with respect.

Now that Manny’s boxing match with Floyd Mayweather is forthcoming, boxing aficionados are very much excited.  Same thing goes with my wife and me.  Yet, when we saw Manny being interviewed in the television, he was so relaxed and expressed himself with humility.  Moreover, Manny never forgets to appreciate God’s blessings.  (Psalm 107:1 "Give thanks to the Lord for He is good.")

 

Gratitude is an honourable attitude and this will make Manny always a Winner in his many fights...ang Pambansang Kamao!
