The one reason why people work hard is to earn money in order to survive and lead a comfortable life. However, many people link happiness with having a lot of money. Doubtlessly, many stories and seers have always tried to make the world understand that it’s not money that earns happiness. But only the one who has a lot of money can understand that it is not the harbinger of happiness.
The boxing legend, Mike Tyson, had a take on the green paper. Moreover, he also put forward what really motivated him now and his current priorities were shaped. Without a doubt, the legend’s words came as an inspiration for a lot of people. Surprisingly, Jon Jones’ brother, Arthur Jones, and the former UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, seemingly agreed to Tyson’s words.
