Okay, so I was messing around with this idea of pulling together some cool Tyson quotes, you know, the boxer Mike Tyson. Thought it would be a fun little project.
First thing I did was hit up Google. Just typed in “Tyson quotes” and, boom, tons of stuff popped up. Lots of websites with lists of his sayings, some famous, some I’d never heard before.
I started by just browsing through a few of those sites. It was kind of overwhelming, honestly. There were so many quotes, it was hard to know where to even begin.
Sorting Through the Madness
So, I decided I needed a better way to organize things. I opened up a simple text document. Nothing fancy, just a place to dump the quotes I liked as I found them. Copy, paste, repeat. It was a little tedious, but it helped me keep track of everything.
As I was going through, I started to notice some themes. There were quotes about:
- Fighting, obviously.
- Discipline and hard work.
- Overcoming fear.
- And some, frankly, pretty wild and philosophical stuff.
I tried to grab a good mix. Some of the really famous ones (“Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth”), and some of the less well-known ones that I thought were interesting or insightful (or just plain crazy!).
The hardest part was probably picking which ones to leave out. There are just SO many. I could have spent days on this, easily.
Finally,put everyting * is great!
