In Mohammed Ali's famous fight with Sonny Linston in the 60's, Ali had the odds stacked against him. Linston was a seasoned fighter while Ali was a new kid on the block with an 8-1 record to his name. Within in the first round, Ali hit Linston knocking him down leading to this famous picture. Ali said he 'shook the world!', because he knew his strength when others doubted him. Remember your own gifts and abilities today, and know there is a path made for you towards your goals!
