He liked to laugh, President Lincoln and as a matter of fact, he was criticized for it once. And he said, if I couldn’t laugh I couldn’t stand this job for fifteen minutes

“One of my earliest boxing memories is sitting on the ring apron at the Repton Boxing Club watching my older brothers train. Sitting there, ringside with my Dad, I couldn't wait for it to be my turn. By the time I was old enough to start training I already knew how to hold my hands in the correct position and throw a number of combinations (my brothers had shown me how and I practiced at every opportunity!). I remember my first fight. I was 11 years old. Sitting in the dressing room, there were about 15 other young boxers getting ready too. Everyone was asking each other, who are you fighting, who are you fighting. There was this one big guy sitting in the corner wrapping his hands. Someone asked him, Hey, who are you fighting, Someone called A. Lee he said with a shrug. That's when I knew I was in for a rough night! As I stood in the corridor before my ring entrance, my stomach was in knots, to say I was nervous would've been an understatement! Walking to the ring, I looked across at my family, the whole clan had turned out to support me. I remember thinking to myself, I don't care how big this guy is I’m not losing this fight! Anyway, to cut a long story short, I won the fight and many more after that.” Visit Andy on MOLI.com

Moderator: Du beschreibst die Shahada als etwas Schönes. Glaubst du, es ist schön? Walla, 11 Jahre:Shahada (das Märtyrertum) ist etwas sehr sehr schönes. Jeder sehnt sich nach der Shahada. Was gibt es denn Schöneres, als ins Paradies zu kommen? Moderator: Was ist besser, Frieden und volle Rechte für das palästinensische Volk oder Shahada? Walla: Shahada. Ich werde meine Rechte erzielen, nachdem ich ein Shaid (Märtyrer) bin. Moderator: OK Yussra, bist du auch dieser Meinung? Yussra, 11 Jahre: Sicher, die Shahada ist süss. Wir wollen nicht diese Welt, wir wollen das Leben im Paradies. Moderator: Liebst du etwa den Tod? Yussra: Der Tod ist keine Shahada. Moderator: Nein, ich meine die Leere nach dem Tod. Yussra: Kein Kind liebt den Tod. Die Kinder von Palästina akzeptieren es, dass die Shahada etwas Gutes ist. Jedes palästinensische Kind, etwa ab 12, sagt: Oh Gott, ich möchte ein Shahid werden. Moderator: Wir haben einen Anrufer, Sabrine aus Ramallah. Sabrine: Ayyat Al-Akhras war 17 als sich sich in die Luft sprengte. Moderator: Sabrine, bist du dafür oder dagegen? Sabrine: Sicher bin ich für Anschläge, das ist unser gutes Recht. Moderator: Sabrine, findest du es natürlich, dass Ayyat Al-Akhras sich in die Luft sprengt? Sabrine: Sicher ist das natürlich.

Growing up inner city, Watts, California, Kevin never imagined himself as an athletic icon, especially in track and field. However, in high school after joining the track and field team, it was clear that Kevin had the talent for speed and agility. In the 1992 Barcelona Olympic games, Kevin earned a gold medal and became the new world record holder for the 400m hurdles at 46.78 seconds. After mental and physical preparation for the Barcelona Olympic games, Kevin knew he could focus on the goal and beat the 11-year standing world record for the 400m hurdles. 15 years later, his world record still holds at 46.78 seconds. Kevin Young was also just recently inducted into the Track and Field Hall of Fame in New York. Visit Kevin Young on MOLI.com
