- Keep the dream alive, and go for it no matter how long it takes, it's the only way you will make it happen.
- Competition doesn't exist if you are truly being yourself. We were all born as individual human beings. We are all unique. So, appreciate who you are.
- Never stop dreaming. There is not an age to dream, there is not an age to start to do what you feel. Understand that things don't come out easily. We all have different ways to get to our dreams. If things don't turn out the way you expected them, don't take it as something bad, there must be a reason why.
- I say "do things" instead of "work" because we don't feel that we are working, we feel that we are doing something that we love.
