This book has been in my Kindle for nearly a year. I finally opened it, probably because of the previous books "Awaken the Giant Within" and "Eat and Run". The former mentioned that being infinitely close to a role model can gradually turn ideals into life, while reading is the cheapest and fastest way to borrow stones from others to attack jade. After reading the latter, Gandhi's famous quote always echoed in his mind: "Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will."

Is this really the case? Is it really the will that limits our physical body and the spirit that carries it, rather than the limits of the body?

If "Eat and Run" repeatedly emphasizes the importance of will and its incomparability, it is difficult to convince me. As a skeptical person like me, I need to see more examples. Tyson's biography can naturally meet the above requirements and is the key to understanding why he became Tyson.

The Chinese name is "Never Back Down". It is an inspiring name, but it lacks realism and touch, and is far inferior to its own meaning - "indisputable fact". Tyson tried to use This book welcomes people's thinking about education.

This book is the one with the most curse words that I have ever read in my life, but when I close the book, it is also a very sincere book. Between the lines, you can feel the eloquent words of the world's top king. Sometimes I suspect that he is too unreserved, even if it is a scandal that is so detrimental to him, he will not hide it. Even my mother's unbearable experience was exposed nakedly.

During the reading process, I was not only curious about how such a book could be translated and published in our country. So naturally I found the Chinese version, compared and explored one by one, and found that the translated version was actually a condensed version, especially the translation of "dirty words", which could not be as direct and naked as the English version. Given our publishing environment, this scenario makes perfect sense. But without this part of vulgarity, it will always lack some interest in reading. As Thoreau said in "Walden", the classics are never successfully translated. After reading this time, I have strengthened my belief in reading the original book.

Let’s talk about the experience of the protagonist in the biography. Let’s cover up the book and think about it. Assuming that he did not misbehave, he was imprisoned in Elmwood Juvenile Correctional Institution, met Bobby Stewart, an Irishman, and was lucky enough to meet him again. Enter boxing coach Cus D'Amato. Without the latter, there would be no Mike Tyson in this world. Otherwise, the author would not have repeatedly called out affectionately and remotely in the article. D'Amato, who is both a coach and his adoptive father, is not only a person to Tyson, but an irreplaceable part of his life. Even though D'Amato's death preceded Tyson's subsequent worldwide fame, Tyson always attributed his achievements to meeting D'Amato, his eternal general. Tyson revealed in the book that if Da asked him to kill someone, he would not hesitate. How many mortals in the world can have such a state of relationship between people?

However, D'Amato's success was also D'Amato's, and perhaps Tyson's subsequent defeat was also D'Amato. At least Tyson believed that his subsequent detours in life were entirely due to the loss of his life mentor, which led to him falling into confusion and then madness. tragic result. But from what I can see from the sidelines, the tragedy of Tai’s life actually lies in his childhood upbringing and the shock and impact that the unpredictable lives of his friends around him gave him. For a person who has never believed that he can live beyond the age of 40 since he was a child, surrounded by a gold belt and under the spotlight, choosing short-sighted timely enjoyment seems to have become a destiny. After becoming famous, Tyson's private life was rampant and he was once plagued by various sexually transmitted diseases. Even later, Dracy Washington was imprisoned after she accused her of rape. He was defrauded of tens of millions of dollars by Tang Jin, and his life was like a reality drama that went from peak to trough. The ups and downs and tragedies in it can give readers a variety of thoughts when reading this book. And this can be explained by Chinese wisdom, good and bad are interdependent.

A few days ago, as a non-boxing fan, I carefully watched the entirety of Tyson's 2021 match. How should I put it, I couldn't bear to watch it. Lian Po is old, is the first word that comes to mind. But Tyson's subsequent performance was similar to that of the two when he was young and vigorous. At this time, I thought that the influence of character on destiny is really profound, and it is important for me to think about it.
