One Way Ticket

History is loaded with infamous battles where there was no turning back. After Cortes landed in Mexico he spoke 3 words which would change the history of the New World.

Burn the boats.”

This spoken com­mand left his men with only two decisions – either die in battle or crush their way to victory.

Check out this video and listen to Jacare speak. Many times he had to buy a one way ticket to a match as he had no money for the return.

By doing so — he knew that he had to win.

Listen to a Navy SEAL talk about the “Fight to Win”.

At 19 I made a similar decision. I wish I would have made that choice at 17.. but oh well. I took at one way ticket to San Diego without a chance in the world of becoming a Navy SEAL. I knew that my only hope, my only chance was to lay it all on the line and have no way to back out.
