Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates

Don't let them drag you down by rumors just go with what you believe in.

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 basically expect anything. Isn't that wild? I used to surprise myself a lot: certain moves, how I'd get out of trouble. But at some point, you accept the talent that you have, you accept your creativity.

There are no shortcuts. I approached practices the same way I approached games. You can't turn it on and off like a faucet. I couldn't dog it during practice and then, when I needed that extra push late in the game, expect it to be there. Very few people get anywhere by taking shortcuts.

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 know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me . . . Failure always made me try harder next time.
