"I’ve learned that when you have the chance to try and persuade people, do that first. If it doesn’t work, you can always practice pushiness as an option." I've found that being pushy never gets you as far as you'd like.

Alfred’s voice makes the lesson feel funny, warm, and wise. Sometimes the gentlest approach is the one that changes a heart.

"So, I was watching a YouTube video of Muhammad Ali, who almost everyone knows was a world-class boxer. He won 56 of his 61 fights, and 37 were knockouts."

He was only known as Muhammad Ali from the late 1960s onward, after he publicly to Islam. In his early 1960s prime he was known by his birth name, Cassius Clay.

I do know that, but on YouTube when I searched he was "Muhammad Ali" so it would be reasonable that Alfred would know him as such.
