Mohammed Ali was a fierce competitor and fought for what he believed in.
Yes, the towering figure had a poetic side, that leaned toward justice.
In 1972 Ali was being interviewed by journalist David Frost and was asked how he would like people to remember him when he was gone. Here is his response.
“I’d like for them to say he took a few cups of love.
He took one tablespoon of patience,
One teaspoon of generosity,
One pint of kindness;
He took one quart of laughter,
One pinch of concern.
And then, he mixed willingness with happiness,
He added lots of faith and he stirred it up well.
Then he spread it throughout a lifetime and he served it to every deserving person he met.”
When I heard this, I thought it a perfect description of how we approach people with diabetes, starting with a foundation of love. The practice of diabetes care is just a little bit of science and loads of kindness and concern with lots of faith and belief in the ability of each individual.
We spread this over a lifetime of care and share it with generosity to each person we meet.
