A Quote by Apolo Ohno
It is not up to me whether I win or lose. Ultimately, this might not be my day. And it is that philosophy towards sports, something that I really truly live by. I am emotional. I want to win. I am hungry. I am a competitor. I have that fire. But deep down, I truly enjoy the art of competing so much more than the result.

I truly want what you truly want-nothing different and nothing more. Don't you see that is My greatest gift to you?
