Preparation doesn't assures victory, it assures confidence.

Winners of some competition are not heroes, heroes are not found in the competition, heroes win much more severe battles than competition to become heroes.

Sacrifices will make you a martyr, victories will make you a hero.

Wake late, win late.

To some life is a complaint, to some it is a competition and to some it is a conquest.

Success and suffering are two sides of the same coin.

I don't consider those competitions fair where judges get to decide the winner, because selected judges quite often are not worthy or qualified enough to make the right decision.

If you are a winner by the judgements of few judges and not by your performance, you are not a real winner.
