I Have Been Influenced In My Thinking

I Approach Every Problem With Optimism.

Running Taught Me Valuable Lessons. In Cross-country Competition, Training Counted More Than Intrinsic Ability, And I Could Compensate For A Lack Of Natural Aptitude With Diligence And Discipline. I Applied This In Everything I Did.

We Should Never Forget Those On Whose Shoulders We Stand And Those Who Paid The Supreme Price For Freedom.

Part Of Being Optimistic Is Keeping One's Head Pointed Toward The Sun, One's Feet Moving Forward.

There Is No Passion To Be Found Playing Small - In Settling For A Life That Is Less Than The One You Are Capable Of Living.
