Gravity

What goes up must come down. Its the rule of nature for the world we live in. You can relate this rule to many different situtions in life. Sometimes people go up and they start to act a certain way towards the people they go by on their rise. But remember those same folks you pass on the way up you will see on the way back down. Karma is a bitch.

Serious

So let's be honest with ourselves and not take ourselves too serious, and never condemn the other fellow for doing what we are doing every day, only in a different way.

Mind Muscle

I always felt that my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability. I believe that life is a journey, often difficult and sometimes incredibly cruel, but we are well equipped for it if only we tap into our talents and gifts and allow them to blossom. Greatness lies not in being strong, but in the right use of strength. I have always admired the ability to bite off more than one can chew and then chew it.

Position

The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. Cowardice asks the question, 'Is it safe?' Expediency asks the question, 'Is it politic?' But conscience asks the question, 'Is it right?' And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but because conscience tells one it is right. Do not worry about holding high position; worry rather about playing your proper role.

Control

You can not always control circumstances, but you can control your own thoughts. A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow as easily as he can invent a pleasure. I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them. Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.

Inspiration

There are many sights, events, and experiences that may inspire us. But the greastest inspiration that you can find is that which rest deep inside yourself

Champion

I want to be a champion for the people I have fought for all my life - regular people. I think self-awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion I hated every minute of rehearsal, but I said, "Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion. If you're a champion, you have to have it in your heart. Find out what you want to be the champion of and go for the tittle.

Strive

Every artist was first an amateur. Try not to become a man of success but a man of value. To find what you seek in the road of life, the best proverb to think of is the one that says: “Leave no stone unturned.” First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do.

Humble

Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself than of other people, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself at all. Swallow your pride occasionally, it's non-fattening plus a man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are. True merit, like a river, the deeper it is, the less noise it makes.

Reflection

By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the most bitter. How strange is the lot of us mortals! Each of us is here for a brief tour for what purpose he knows not, though he senses it. But without deeper reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people. How shall we learn to know ourselves? By reflection? Never; but only through action. Strive to do your duty; then you shall know what is in you...
