The legendary boxer Mohammed Ali's advice to his daughters; an incident transpired when his daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes that were quite revealing. Here is the story as told by one of the daughters.When we finally arrived our home, the chauffeur (driver) escorted my younger sister laila and I up to my father's suite. As usual he was hiding by the door to scare us. After the hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in 1 day,
My father took a good look at us and then he sat me down on his laps and said something I will never forget, (and probably you too might never forget).he looked me straight in the eyes and said ‛Hannah! Everything God has made precious and valuable in this world is hidden and hard to get. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean covered and protected in a beautiful shell. Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine with layers and layers of rocks protecting it. You've got to work hard to get to them' he looked at me with seriousness in his eyes ‛ your body is far more precious and valuable than GOLDS,DIAMONDS and PEARLS and you should be far more covered than they are.
Your body is the temple of GOD. Keep it sacred and dignified…….nothing easy to get that has ever been cherish e.g. water (though useful, since it is easy to get it is not valued as against the crude oil)EYEN BO IFIOK
