It is true, I worry about the hype. The only person more over-hyped than me is you.

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.

Ferrari used to be the car that you kept in your garage, took out to polish and show, and put back into the garage.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think, we become.

To conduct great matters and never commit a fault is above the force of human nature.
