“If you can’t stop thinking about it, don’t stop working on it.”

Being afraid on the court, means you’re not confident of your skills.

The game has its ups and downs, but you can never lose focus of your individual goals and you can’t let yourself be beat because of lack of effort.

You always have to focus in life on what you want to achieve.

Every time I feel tired while I am exercising and training, I close my eyes to see that picture, to see that list with my name. This usually motivates me to work again.

I don’t go out and just try to score. I score because there is an opportunity to score.

I want to wake up every day and do whatever comes in my mind, and not feel pressure or obligations to do anything else in my life.

Any fear is an illusion. You think something is standing in your way, but nothing is really there. What is there is an opportunity to do your best and gain some success.

I am competing with what I am capable of.

Nothing of value comes without being earned.

A loss is not a failure until you make an excuse.

If you quit once it becomes a habit. Never quit!

Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates.

If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them.

Everybody has talent, but ability takes hard work.

Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

People ask me if I could fly, I said, yeah – for a little while.

If it can be dreamed, it can be done.

Yes: I am a dreamer. For a dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

Your own positive future begins in this moment. All you have is right now. Every goal is possible from here.

We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.

Friends, they cherish one another’s hopes. They are kind to one another’s dreams.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

Cherish your visions and your dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.

Because we all share this planet earth, we have to learn to live in harmony and peace with each other and with nature. This is not just a dream, but a necessity.
