Muhammad Ali - Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth

John Ramsey in his eulogy at Muhammad Ali's memorial service: “Muhammad said service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth. And I just want to say: ‘champ, the rent is paid in full.’” - Ravi: That's my number one takeaway from what I saw of Muhammad Ali's memorial service.

If folks have the time to spare they may enjoy and learn by viewing this video of the main parts of the memorial service of Muhammad Ali with eulogies by Malcolm X's daughter, two of Muhammad Ali's daughters, Muhammad Ali's widow Lonnie Ali, John Ramsey - family friend, Billy Crystal, Valerie Jarret - senior advisor to USA President Barrack Obama who read Obama's message, sports journalist Bryant Gumbel and former USA President Bill Clinton. Here's the video, Muhammad Ali Funeral [FULL MEMORIAL SERVICE], https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpGSjYqHFV0, by ABC News, around 1 hr 45 minutes, published June 10th 2016. I saw the whole video and was very moved by it. Many of the speakers, including Lonnie Ali, Muhammad Ali's widow, spoke on the work Muhammad Ali did to promote religious pluralism and an inclusive society regardless of race, religion and ethnic background. I found that to be pretty inspiring.
