I kinda see everyone as competition. I'm a very competitive person. But I think that's good. Competition is great. And as long as it's friendly and not a malicious thing, then I think it's cool.

Dreams can become a reality when we possess a vision that is characterized by the willingness to work hard, a desire for excellence, and a belief in our right and our responsiblity to be equal members of society.

To be given permission to be confused -- and remain confused -- for as long as it takes would have been a huge gift.

To cut off the confusion and accept an answer just because it's too scary not to have an answer is a good way to get the wrong answer.

You can never be happy until you understand why you're doing what you're doing.
