When you’ve got talent that is unique to you, hone it indefinitely. Manny Pacquiao, a Filipino boxer, has a rare talent for boxing. Coming from humble beginnings and growing in a Third World Asian countryside, he never imagined to be invited as the cover man for Time magazine Asia in its current issue. He was a street dweller living in cardboard boxes, a make-shift home, while he was in Mindanao. Then, in 2001, a US boxing title changed everything for him and his family. On Nov. 15, 2009, he will be performing for another world boxing title in Las Vegas, Nevada. Back in the Philippines, he is a demigod with endless television endorsements. He lived a colorful life back in his homeland. Despite his countless world boxing titles, he remained humble of his successes. He developed his boxing skill as a means of income for his family. He never realized that he can be part of world boxing history. Through his insatiable appetite for the sport, he lifted his family from poverty and illiteracy.
