Original name: Walker Smith
Born: May 3, 1920
Died: Apr. 12, 1989 Welterweight and 5-time Middle- weight Champion of the World. Robinson is hailed by fans and fighters alike as being, pound for pound, the greatest fighter in History. He earned the nickname Sugar Ray when a newspaper reporter described him as "sweet as sugar." He combined a dancers grace with a furious two fisted attack to defeat some of the top fighters of all time. In his 25 year career he took on a who's who of opponents. They include: Henry Armstrong, Fritzie Zivic, Jake Lamotta, Randy Turpin, Carl "Bobo" Olson, Carmen Basilio, Gene Fullmer, and Rocky Graziano. Robinson defeated all of the aforementioned fighters in either title defences or reclamations, and almost all of them by knockout. In total he fought 18 World Champions in his career. Robinson retired in 1965 with a tremendous career record of 175-19-6 with 109 KO's. He then settled in Los Angeles, started the Ray Robinson Youth Foundation and threw all his energies into working with kids and the church. He died of Alzheimer's disease on April 12, 1989. In 1990, a year after his death, Robinson was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
An elderly Chinese woman had two large pots,
each hung on the ends of a pole which she carried across her neck… One of the pots had a crack in it while the other pot was perfect and always delivered a full portion of water. At the end of the long walks from the stream to the house, the cracked pot arrived only half full. For a full two years this went on daily, with the woman bringing home only one and a half pots of water.. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection, and miserable that it could only do half of what it had been made to do. After two years of what it perceived to be bitter failure, it spoke to the woman one day by the stream. 'I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house.' The old woman smiled, 'Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side?' 'That's because I have always known about your flaw, so I planted flower seeds on your side of the path, and every day while we walk back, you water them..' For two years I have been able to pick these beautiful flowers to decorate the table. Without you being just the way you are, there would not be this beauty to grace the house.' Each of us has our own unique flaw. But it's the cracks and flaws we each have that make our lives together so very interesting and rewarding. You've just got to take each person for what they are and look for the good in them. SO, to all of my cracked pot friends, have a great day and remember to smell the flowers on your side of the path!
