Everybody has a talent, but its what you do with that talent to make it great.

The way I've been brought up to is take critiques and turn them into positives in my game.

Messi is out of this world. Scoring 86 goals this year... In 2012. What an incredible accomplishment

Soccer is what I grew up doing - it's my passion, and I'm way more comfortable on the field in my soccer cleats.

Always work hard, never give up, and fight until the end because it's never really over until the whistle blows.

I want to keep improving, continue to help my teammates improve, make my teammates look good. Continue bringing something new to the game, never getting completely content and always trying to get better.

Whatever brings you down, will eventually make you stronger.
