Mike Tyson has been a household name for a couple of decades now. Even people who don’t follow boxing know who ‘Kid Dynamite’ is. But his journey to success didn’t come through a smooth road, instead, he had quite a difficult childhood and overcame numerous hardships. He became the strong man that he is today, because of his resilience that developed during his formative years. Besides being a ferocious boxer, Mike Tyson is also known for being a prudent man.
Tyson is also a keen reader and loves books. He even authored his own book ‘Undisputed Truth‘ and claimed to have relived the dark times. Nonetheless, his wisdom has been highlighted again, as a segment of his conversation with Joe Rogan on Joe Rogan Experience, has resurfaced online.
In that video, Tyson could be seen training in the backdrop with a voiceover of their conversation about the importance of discipline. Tyson said, “I don’t care how good you are in anything, if you don’t have discipline you ain’t nobody.” He also added that a person who has no discipline is also bound to give up very easily.
Furthermore, he defined the word as well, “Discipline is doing what you hate to do but do it like you love it.” Well, the moment Joe Rogan heard this, he uttered that this was a great quote. Seems like Joe Rogan wasn’t wrong.
