Nothing of value comes without being earned.
My best skill was that I was coachable. I was a sponge and aggressive to learn.
I am privileged to have played basketball.
Failure is acceptable. but not trying is a whole different ball park.
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.
All I wanted to do was to improve, to keep getting better.
