“I don't try to intimidate anybody before a fight. That's nonsense. I intimidate people by hitting them”
— Mike Tyson
Simplified Meaning:
The speaker believes that scaring someone before a fight isn't useful. Instead, they show their strength and make others afraid by actually hitting them during the fight. It's about proving their power through actions, not words or threats. Imagine a person who always talks big about how strong they are and how they will win every fight. But when it comes down to actually fighting, they might not be as tough as they said. On the other hand, someone who doesn't brag or threaten but fights really well makes their opponents fear them based on their real performance, not just talk. In everyday life, this can mean that showing your skills and abilities through your actions is more impactful than just talking about them. If you want respect at work or school, it's better to do your tasks well rather than just saying you're the best.
