When it came time for t,ie second l#sson, the young man re turned and said, "Mr. Sullivan, my idea was to learn enough about boxing from you to get revenge on a certain young man. But I’ve changed my mind. If it’s all the same to 1 you, I’ll send this certain young man around to take the rest of the lessons for me.” Many wonderful lives have been wasted “getting even,” The thought, the time, the energy used in getting revenge is sheer waste.
