Overall, there is a difference between a Mohammed Ali and a May Weather, though their both boxers and even May Weather and you and i knows this!
When I got to this statement, I laughed so hard.
Ali had an intelligence and warmth and a self depracating way - just youtube an interview with Ali and you see an intelligent man behind the bravado and spin, listen to an interview with Floyd and its the same format each time; he talks about him, his money, his TMT stable and…… has no opinion on virtually anything else.

The two are chalk and cheese and the products of very different times obviously but I personally cannot ever put someone like Floyd in the same place as someone like Ali.

This teaches us a very important fact about life, especially life here in steemit. When you go for the SBs alone, you can get the temporary reward, but you'll have no substance. Like Mayweather, all you'll have is money, all you'll be known for is the money, but when you go for impact, setting a new pace, what you'll have is legacy.
That's the difference between both lives. We all have a choice to make. You know I was looking at @surpassinggoogle and I remembered when you were writing on one of your posts, and I recolleted that you blatantly said you had little money to take care of a need I don't want to make mention of.. That got me thinking, I even had to call my brother asking him why a content whale like @surpassinggoogle would not have enough money for a very pressing need at that time. And that's when I knew there was a difference in mindset in you. It was never about the SBD, but about impact and legacy.

That's what life on steemit should truly be about. We can choose the immediate gain or the long lasting gains.
