Muhammad Ali's advice to his daughters

Muhammad Ali's advice to his
daughters..............Inspiring An incident transpired when Muhammad Ali’s
daughters arrived at his home wearing clothes
that were quite revealing.

Here is the story as told by one of his
daughters:
“When we finally arrived, the chauffeur escorted my younger sister, Laila, and me up to my
father’s suite. As usual, he was hiding behind the
door waiting to scare us. We exchanged many
hugs and kisses as we could possibly give in one
day.
My father took a good look at us. Then he sat me down on his lap and said something that I will
never forget. He looked me straight in the eyes
and said, “Hana, everything that God made
valuable in the world is covered and hard to get
to.
Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected.
Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the
bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected
in a beautiful shell.
Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine,
covered over with layers and layers of rock. You've got to work hard to get to them.”
He looked at me with serious eyes. “Your body is
sacred. You’re far more precious than diamonds
and pearls, and you should be covered too.”
