Reading this weeks Sports Illustrated, I came across this nugget. A British Boxer, Peter Buckley, had his last fight this past Friday, which he won. It was his 300th and final fight. He finished his career with a record of 32-256-12. Before he won his last fight, he had a string of 88 straight bouts that he had lost or drawn. Talk about a tough way to make a living. Boxing in general, but then getting your ass kicked that much for that long? Wow!
-
The guy he beat up has only been in two fights. Both against Buckley. His record? 0-1-1. Don't think that guy is going to last another 298.

So the staff here at STUFFYOUTHINKYOUNEED is giving a shout out to Mr. Buckley. You sir have persevered.

Getting up and grinding it out to make a living is one key to being successful.
