“Your success will be determined by the quality of your relationships with people.”

Nobody can tell your story the way you can tell your story.

Almost any decision is better than no decision — just keep moving.

It’s not about the goal, it’s about how you want to feel when you get there.

I still have a video of my father, which I watch before every game I play for Brazil. It gives me strength, makes me determined.

You determine your future by the thoughts and pictures you hold in your mind today.
