It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge. Albert Einstein Art

From the neck up is where you win or lose the battle. It's the art of war. You have to lock yourself in and strategise your mindset. That's why boxers go to training camps: to shut down the noise and really zone in. Anthony Joshua Art
