I was motivated to be different in part because I was different.

Don't give up. Don't lose hope. Don't sell out.

You create your opportunities by asking for them.

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.

I can, therefore I am.

My father is my true inspiration. He's a motivational speaker, so he does a fine job of guiding me.
