You have to be un-compromised in your level of commitment to whatever you are doing, or it can disappear as fast as it appeared. Commitment cannot be compromised by rewards.

You remember the [remarks] you made in 1994 about, 'I think I can guard you, I can shut you down, I would love to play against you?' Well, you're about to get your chance.

learning 's a gift, even when "pain" ,s your teacher!

If you can't stop thinking about it, don't stop working on it.

I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don't do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.

I want to wake up every day and do whatever comes in my mind, and not feel pressure or obligations to do anything else in my life.

I wasn't really a work conscious type of person.
