""Being challenged in life is enevitable, being defeated is optional." "



Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. "


"your biggest competition is yourself, once you get past that-you can do anything"


If you think you can you can. And if you think you can't you're right.

"Failure is only the opportunity to begin again more intelligently."

~~Be not afraid of going slowly-only of standing still~~


"If you want things to be different perhaps the answer is to become different yourself"

"Forget about proving others wrong. The only person you need to prove anything to is yourself."


"The worst regret you can have in life is not for the wrong things you did, but for the things that you did not do."
"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did."

If you even dream of beating me you'd better wake up and apologize.
Muhammad Ali
