i wonder what manny pacquiao is reading
I love the picture and this article. Too often fit and muscular people are dismissed as “muscleheads” with no brainpower. It just doesn’t make sense. People with the discipline to work hard on their bodies are often reading widely and thinking deeply. Thanks so much for this beautiful image of a fit and intelligent man.
@Andrea “muscleheads” do indeed exist and they form the majority of “fit and muscular” people. But although the stereotype is true to some extent, there are ALWAYS exceptions. These are usually the famous people, the ones with a plan and a mission. The “muscleheads” you refer to mostly have one goal and that’s it! No depth, no substance, just raw force.
