"قد أكون كنت أفضل مقاتل، لكنني كنت أيضًا الأفقر. لم أستطع يومًا أن أتحمل تكاليف واقي فم من الدرجة الأولى لحماية أسناني. كان علي الانتظار حتى ينتهي المقاتلون الآخرون حتى أستطيع استعارة خوذاتهم، أو سراويلهم أو الضمادات."
— Muhammad Ali
Simplified Meaning:
Even though this person was really good at fighting, they didn't have the money to buy their own protective gear. They were the best at what they did, but still struggled financially. So, they had to borrow equipment like mouthguards and headgear from other fighters. It's like being a top student who can't afford school supplies and has to wait until friends are done using their notebooks and pens. This shows that being talented doesn't always mean you have the resources you need. It also teaches that sometimes, despite your skills, you might need help from others to succeed.
