    This is why Tyson Fury could not bully Francis Ngannu. The man worked in sand mines at 10 years old. I think of the scene from “Conan the Barbarian” with Conan working in the mill at about the same age and developed into a warrior. Ngannu’s story is so inspirational.

    Absolutely but it's really rare and that kind of succeeding takes enormous risks in life (sometimes it's basically a gamble) you need to have the right mindset and you need to get the oppurtunity to rise. It's possible but really difficult he had a predisposed adventage cause of naturally inherited very strong physical strength he used it very well to hes advantages. He put he's energy to the right place. I'm very sure he'll be motivation for many young Black Africans out there

    From a sand miner in Cameroon, making an arduous journey across 1/3 of the length of Africa to Morocco, crossing the Strait of Gibraltar to get to Spain on his 7th attempt, finding his way to Paris after spending months in a Spanish prison, living homeless and then stumbling into MMA, training for a few years and then making it into the UFC, and then in another few short years becoming heavyweight champion, and then in another couple more years, actually getting a split decision against the undefeated heavyweight boxing champion. Francis's story is one of the greatest stories of the modern era and should be told around the world.

    I've been listening to this episode on commutes to and from work and the part where he talks about being ostracized for not having any food share with the group of kids during school break absolutely broke me. It's incredibly humbling to hear this man talk about his journey to where he is now and he doesn't have an ounce of self pity in his body even after everything he has been through. A lot of people can learn a lot from adjusting their attitudes accordingly. What an astonishing and incredible human being.

He had to start working at 12 years old even though he was smart enough to go to university, and that was even in the "rich" Netherlands. If you look at other countries like Poland, there were entire cities living like my grandfather had to and it left a mark on their generation and those that followed; my mother was very successful thanks to the mindset she inherited from the experience of my grandfather so I'd say you should be proud of the struggles your ancestors went trough as it shows grit that you can rely on when things go bad, too.

    f*** I was feeling the same way. But the truth is isolation if taken positively is good. There were kids in my high school in Kenya who were super good in class because they were "uncool" -- came from tough conditions in very rural areas, with rural accents etc. Some of them are living very good lives now. Kobe Bryant has also talked about basketball acting as solace for him as a young kid. Isolation is a double-edged sword

    Now I know why Francis is such a soft spoken, overly humble, meek person. He felt worthless as a child, while living a harder life than most other children on the planet. He doesn't have the huge ego, a brash and boastful attitude or think hes better than ANYONE. He probably still feels like that kid in the African sand mines deep inside, and will probably always have a deep seated fear that he could lose everything he has and go back to that life again. I know one thing, NO ONE else with his amount of fame, money, and adulation is as humble as he remains, and no one else appreciates these things more than him. He is a true KING who deserves every bit of the good life he has now. 🙏

    It’s painful just speaking from experience. The feeling of so many people around you and yet not a soul notices your existence. Simple things such as lunch time and walking in the hallways becomes anxiety inducing when you have absolutely no one to walk/sit with. Fire drills are the worst as everyone around you is talking and you don’t know where to stand or what to do as you have no one to talk with. Constantly being alone in the world while everyone around you seems to know everyone yet they never speak to you. I hope anyone who reads my words can go out and make a new friend today.. you never know you might save that persons life in more than one way. Stay healthy and safe king’s👑

    His comment gives more perspective to the tribulations of faceless people you’ll never see in 1000 lifetimes. Some people come from such lowly conditions and upbringings that just the thought of being able to eat breakfast before school is foreign because he’ll be so hungry by 2 pm that he will have to leave to find something to eat. And we in the civilized world, complain on social media about our being victims of circumstance, as we type on iPhone that costs 1000$, which is like 2-3 years salary in some places in Africa. Some peoples best days of their lives would be comparable to 99% of the worlds population’s worst days on earth. Some people complain when they eat steak a bit overcooked. Some people eat meat from a rat a few times a year. Perspectives.

    @@saltyspaceman5697 I used to think like that too but all that tends to do is give you a way out. You can put yourself in the box of 'people who didn't make it'. I would say the dream and the belief are the most important part because it keeps you oriented in a single direction and the belief keeps you going no matter what happens or how long it takes. When you listen to people who 'HAD a dream', they usually gave up at some point and declared defeat OR their idea of 'making it' changed and success became about starting a family for example, and fair enough.

    I liked that he was a killer in the ring, but I had no idea of his backstory. I feel humbled.
