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.

Climate change: I say the debate is over. We know the science, we see the threat and we know that the time for action is now

Always have one possibility in mind and that is to go to the top, to be the best. Everything else should just be a means to that end.

It doesn't matter what party you come from. The key thing is that you work on behalf of the people rather than on behalf of the party.
