Trying to get ahead, you know, doing what Obama says, working hard and applying myself and trying to get ahead. There was always somebody, there were always a lot of people that earned more than I did.
Everybody knows that Coutinho is a great footballer - here in England, they call him 'The Magician.'

I've made sure I am working hard enough to get that lead and keep it there.
Work hard! Just keep working hard until you can do something you want to do! We all progress at different speeds and in different ways, so be patient and keep working hard!
