bread burden choose david deadly ego fork gift happy instead jay jealousy letterman randy rather seven somebody thankful unless
There's a fork in the road, you can be jealous, or you can be happy. I always choose happiness. Jealousy is one of the seven deadly sins, ... If I've got two loaves of bread under each arm, why must I feel jealous of anybody? Why can't I just be happy for myself? If that's the way you look at it, then why isn't Randy jealous of David Letterman or Jay Leno? Because there's always somebody better than you. The thing is, I would rather just be thankful and live each day as if it was a gift instead of a burden. It is a burden if you're so competitive or so ego-driven that you can't live unless you make everything else dead around you.
hung wealthy
But see I hung in there, I persevered, and what's the end of the story? I'm healthy, wealthy and free. How many wrestlers, 50-years-old are even alive?
Well, I could do that also, but it was the Presidents.

again andre documented few greatest guy head last life liked maybe physical poor saw sorry strong three trying
It was unintentional, Andre headbutted me right in the head, ... He always liked me and he was really sorry about it, but that's what happened. He was a very strong guy. And his head is like three heads... my head is just like one and a half. Maybe he was trying too hard. But I never begrudged him for it, the poor guy was in so much pain. I wrestled him in 1975 when he was excellent. And then I saw him again in 1985 and he was a physical wreck. And it's very well documented that the last few years of his life were miserable. And you know what the greatest thing in his life was?

No that was like the fifth time. The first time was when I was on TNT before that. The second time I was on TNT, I told them that I had a poem for Lord Alfred Hayes. Now it's been taken off the WWE website but I managed to get it on the LannyPoffo.com website.
