I don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.

Jump off the beam, flip off the bars follows your dreams, and reach for the stars

I ended up in the US for a month or so, before moving to Montreal with some Romanian friends.

When you fall, leap to your feet and try again.

The only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.

One of the most difficult times in my life was when I escaped from Romania in November of 1989.

Hard work has made it easy. That is my secret. That is why I win.
