Quotes
“One of the things I try to teach people live life without fear. When you are kid you live with no fear, but when you become an adult you start fearing so many things, that we stop achieving our dreams and living our dreams.”
“If you were to fail today because of trying something and still lose everything, you are going to get back up to where you before. Because you have the mindset to set for that level of success…that mindset has to be trained.”
“It is not about being positive because positivity eventually dies out at some point. But what really matters is how you see yourself, how you believe in yourself, and always thinking you can make it and have a lot to give anybody and a lot to give yourself.”
