PAIN

"Pain is temporary, glory forever!" I heard this stupid phrase a thousand times. It's a lie. Truth is:
"GLORY IS TEMPORARY, PAIN IS FOREVER!"

Punchline:
Don't do stupid things with a high risk of injuries just for the sake of a short rush of feeling accepted, respected or admired.

The motivation to risk your health or your life should always have a reasonable cause. The risky action must have the longterm cause to make you a much better person and / or helping the whole humanity.

It's the function of puberty to do just that:
Be fearless to take risks for feeding and protecting your family, your community and the whole humanity.

In the 1990s i was a successful PRO kickboxer.
I was young and naive.
My goals were...
...being accepted
...being respected
...being admired
...earning money doing my hobby...

Yes, i am thankful for all the experiences.
They made me a better person - the one i am today.

My list of injuries is long. Nearly every part of my body - from head to toe - were hurt. My arms, shoulders, back, legs and feet still hurt - and will hurt forever. Cardiac arrhythmias, athlete's heart, ... and the list goes on. That's the price i have to pay.

I share my experience.

Think twice.
