Dancing is a popular metaphor for life. One must be limber and agile and go along with the music.
One must feel and follow and flow with their partner. But anyone who has tried to do something
difficult, where there is competition or an adversary, knows that the dancing metaphor is insufficient.
Nobody ever gets up on stage and tries to tackle a dancer. The dancer never gets choked out by a rival.
For a wrestler, on the other hand, adversity and the unexpected are part and parcel of what they do.
Their sport is a battle, just like life. They are fighting an opponent as well as their own limitations,
emotions, and training.
Life, like wrestling, requires more than graceful movement. We have to undergo hard training and
cultivate an indomitable will to prevail. Philosophy is the steel against which we sharpen that will and strengthen that resolve.

Walt Disney didn't just inherit a dream; he worked for it as a paperboy and child factory worker after his father’s business failures. From selling sketches to neighbors at age seven to driving an ambulance in post-war Europe, his early life was a masterclass in perseverance and hustle.
Disney leveraged his passion for drawing to land a role as an advertising cartoonist and eventually pioneere in cartoon.
