Be A Boxer, Not a Fencer

In The Riddle of the Sphinx, Oedipus is asked, "What goes on four legs in the morning, two feet at midday, and three feet in the evening?" Oedipus answered, "Man." The narrative arc of a human life is mythologically depicted in three phases. Psychologically, the same holds. Characterizing the necessary periods and understanding the nature of the passage periods between them is the key to answering the basic philosophical questions of becoming a "good person" and living the "good life". Along the way, the most successful men continue to adapt throughout each stage.

Why Be A Boxer you ask? Because without the sword, the fencer is not dangerous. The boxer's weapons reside within him. At any time and in any scenario, the boxer is dangerous. His years of training shape him and he becomes lethal in body and mind, which act as one. The boxer is the weapon. Be A Boxer offers successful men axioms to consider during their journey of transitions from one stage to the next in order to live life the way it ought to be lived, to its fullest.
