"To thine own self be true." "You've got to be truthful to yourself; otherwise, you'll never get down to it. You'll never get further." "Me having an easier life — and actually, underneath it all, me and everybody else around me still going through pain, tragedies, and challenges, not knowing how to express them, and feeling alone — that's not a win." "Don't live with any regrets. Don't regret anything. Everything counts. Nothing will be wasted." "Find the lesson ... appreciate what it was ... then just move on." "Success is finding your purpose in life and doing what makes you happy on your level, not to impress or please anybody else." "A good leader has the mind to be neutral enough to do what's best for the masses, and humble enough to take advice, listen, be corrected, and hear what other people want." "I'm not saying you need to be in the gym every day, be a bodybuilder, and eat salads for a living. But be in good health, decent health, so that you can have longevity in your life." "I like to invest in myself by investing in other people. And so, I am very stingy with my time, because it's the only thing that we can't get back." "I make it a point to spend time with people who know different things than me, so that I can feed off their energy, especially people who have done something that I want to do." "I'm grateful for all the people who came into my life, the people I've been friends with for 20 years or more, and I'm grateful for the people who broke my heart, because I wouldn't have learned."
