for some people life outside the spotlight is death.

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

Romanians have a saying, 'Not every dog has a bagel on its tail.' It means that not all streets are paved with gold. When I began my career, I just wanted to do cartwheels.

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

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.

Of course, most people remember that I received the first perfect 10 in Olympic gymnastics competition.

You should also appreciate the goodness around you, and surround yourself with positive people.
