Alexis Arguello: Champion

alexisarguelloWe spend too much time wondering about how things will end. We think in result terms. We double our efforts and forget the goal. So much has been said about the death of Alexis Arguello.

He lived a rich and explosive life. He left behind a family, including a son who have his name and his heart. His family extended beyond the tenuous ties that blood alone provides. He was connected to the world, as a hero, as an anti hero, as one of the greatest fighters of all times.

 

He was a man whose life exceeded all expectations of personal achievement. He was the local guy who became a champion. As Shakespeare said, "Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once.

Of all the wonders that I yet have heard, it seems to me most strange that men should fear;Seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come". - How Alexis died pales compared to the life he lived. Big, bold and remarkable.
