For me, life is about continuously being hungry. It's meaning is not simply to just exist or to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength. We all have great power. That power is self-faith. There's really an attitude to winning. You have to see yourself winning before you win. And you have to be hungry. You have to want to conquer.

Not every legend is a myth, some are flesh and blood. Some legends walk among us, but they aren’t born, they’re built.

There’s a legend behind every legacy, there’s a blueprint behind every legend.
