I never had to cheat, I get them with what I got.

Everybody faces obstacles. And I looked to people who had been through many to succeed in life. Abraham Lincoln, born to a poor family, faced defeat through most of his life. Lost eight elections, failed two businesses, had a nervous breakdown, and still became president.

You know, heroes are ordinary people that have achieved extraordinary things in life.
