I came across this article on Mercatornet, and thought it was quite nice. It's about discipline and devotion, success and thanksgiving, with a healthy does of humility and respect. And the Filipinos among us might be especially interested. *hint*hint*

Filipino boxing champ Manny Pacquiao wows his fans with gloves and God.

Here's an excerpt:
Boxing is a sport which often brutalises its practitioners. But Manny is different and that’s part of the reason why Filipinos love him. First of all, he is pious, even disconcertingly so. He has no qualms about wearing a rosary around his neck before and after a match or of making a sign of the cross at the start of a round. He entrusts himself and his professional work to God. He started Saturday off by attending Mass and at the end of the fight you could see a member of Team Pacquiao pointing down to the corner, reminding him to kneel down and give thanks before acknowledging the cheers of the ecstatic crowd. And when Arum praised him for his phenomenal performance, Manny responded, "Don’t forget God."
