In terms of success and drive, I think some people are born with it, sometimes certain circumstances push you towards success... trying to prove people wrong.

Risks are a measure of people. People who won't take them are trying to preserve what they have. People who do take them often end up having more.

Being wrong isn't anywhere but being here. Best place to be, eh?
Oh man, I would love to fight Evander Holyfield. I don't think any of the other great heavyweights fought four times - that's history in itself.
