Daily Quote

  Today I have chosen the quote: “ He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.”  -  Muhammad Ali 2. Underline any unknown words. 3. Look up words in dictionary, write in your book. Courageous – not deterred by danger or pain; brave. Accomplish – achieve or complete successfully. 4. I think this quote means…… that courage was needed to take bold risks, and significant accomplishments required these daring risks.  5. Look up the speaker of the quote, write down a few facts about them – try for at least 3 interesting facts. He has been married four times and has nine children. He Died: June 3, 2016, in Arizona. He was a professional boxer – career spanning for 21 years. Muhammad Ali retired from boxing in 1981 à aged 39. 6. Look up another quote by the speaker. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”. “Do not count the days, make the days count”.
