Manny Pacquiao's biography at NBS, Powerbooks
Manila, Philippines - While waiting with bated breath for their hero Manny Pacquiao prepare for his next big fight, fans and well-wishers can read Pacman: A Story of Hope, Resilience and Never-Say-Never.
Available in both English and Tagalog, the book captures the innermost thoughts and recollections of Pacquiao from his childhood to his recent life as a sportsman and boxing champion. It also contains new anecdotes that show Pacquiao’s deep sense of family and loyalty to friends.
Also recommended for students and young adults, the autobiography portrays a humility that is heartwarming as Pacquiao narrates his past “mistakes” and the lessons he learned from them.
Pacquiao’s advice to young people is summed up in these words: “When I was a small boy in Kibawe Philippines, I learned that everyone has the ability to create his or her own opportunities, whether through good fortune or hard work. I realized that there are two more important things you need: to catch people’s attention; and, you need to be unique.”
On learning from mistakes, he says, “We all make mistakes, and we all experience one sort of defeat or another. The key is how you handle this defeat and what you do to prevent it from happening again. One of the best ways to keep from making the same mistake twice is to be surrounded by quality people. We are only as good as the people we surround ourselves with, both life and in business. In boxing, we call them our ‘cornermen.’”
Now in its second printing, Pacman: A Story of Hope, Resilience and Never-Say-Never in English and Tagalog, are available in the best-sellers section of National Bookstore and Powerbooks.
