EWKB+Jing+of+Similes

A very famous pair of similes was used as a form of self-expression by Muhammad Ali to describe himself as a boxer. He said he could 'float like a butterfly, sting like a bee.' In this photo, look at his right foot lightly resting on the mat, floating if you will. At the same time, notice that his arms and fists are gearing up to take a shot. A lot of power is going into that shot, and it would clearly 'sting.'
