Sometimes when I get asked by younger wrestlers, 'Do you have any advice for me? What do you think you can help me on?' and I tell them I think the best advice is to try and outdo yourself. Always be unique, always be creative. I think that was part of my success. I never wanted anybody to be on top of me. I always wanted to be number one.
Keep your feet on the ground and your thoughts at lofty heights.
Forget your opponents; always play against par.
I think you should aim for the stars - and hopefully avoid ending up in the clouds!
I think back and marvel that my ambitions were so small.
To come up short when you reach too far is not such a bad thing rather than not to reach at all, right?
My dad always told me, 'I don't care what you do. Just aim to be the best at it. Even if it's the world's best window cleaner.'
I never had goals to be in the top 10 or top five in the world. I just try to find the borders, find what level I can reach. I have a good team around me, so hopefully it's going to get even better.
Apply yourself. Get all the education you can, but then, by God, do something. Don't just stand there, make it happen.
I hope I inspire people to dream bigger than what they are living, but a dream within their reach.
Every five years, I decide to learn something new.
I always assume that one day someone will come and try to do better so you always have to go beyond your limits.
Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.
You can do more, you can always do more.
If you want to achieve a high goal, you're going to have to take some chances.
The only way to grow is to challenge yourself.
Reach for it. Push yourself as far as you can.
Don't lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your level of performance to meet your expectations.
Be not content with what you have or are.
I haven't set myself any goals or targets because I am taking each day as it comes. But who is to say that I can't be a world champion, or do anything that I put my mind to?
A dream doesn't become a goal until it is written.
I think no matter who you are or what you do in life, you should set the bar high, that way, when you do obtain those things, you can say, I did this, but if you didn't get it, you can look an see what you needed to do to get there.
I am a total believer of making the process a good time - make it memorable, have some fun, try to shoot high in your quality and then don't get crazy, see what happens.
Believe in and follow your dreams.
You can do bigger and bigger things. For what?
