Be honest and work hard to get what you want. Don't take shortcuts; you only cheat yourself in the long run. Success is not measured by money or fame, but by how you feel about your own goals and accomplishments and the time and effort you put into them.

Never had I had so many friends and so much fun as I did in the projects.

Playing baseball was my dream, and no amount of money could sway my opinion.

Human beings are pampered by the Lord. Their real tests don't come until later in life.

I flailed my arm in a throwing motion before I could even walk.

Be honest and work hard to get what you want. Don't take shortcuts; you only cheat yourself in the long run. Success is not measured by money or fame, but by how you feel about your own goals and accomplishments and the time and effort you put into them.

I was always a self-proclaimed poor slider.
