Jump off the beam, flip off the bars follows your dreams, and reach for the stars

I don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.

I ended up in the US for a month or so, before moving to Montreal with some Romanian friends.

When you fall, leap to your feet and try again.

My marriage to my husband, Bart Conner in 1996 is my proudest personal moment.

One of the most difficult times in my life was when I escaped from Romania in November of 1989.

Of course, I grew up in Communist Romania, but I am happy to say that now our country is democratic, and prospering, since the revolution in 1989.

Work hard for your goals and live in the moment.

Romanians have a saying, 'Not every dog has a bagel on its tail.' It means that not all streets are paved with gold. When I began my career, I just wanted to do cartwheels.

I believe that you should gravitate to people who are doing productive and positive things with their lives.

Hard work has made it easy. That is my secret. That is why I win.

Everyday, I end up with your chat on top. Everyday, I end with knowing you a bit more. Don't know whether you're mine or not, but everyday is making me the right person to you.

Be kind as if life is for love and kindness.

Emotionally intelligent people can focus their emotions to improve performance and productivity.

The 1992 crisis proved that the existing system was unstable. Not moving forward to the euro would have set up Europe for even more disruptive crises.

America is a country that would rather talk about race than class.

Men who are addicted to the passions are like the torch-carrier running against the wind; his hands are sure to be burned.

I love my life and I am so blessed.

Never confuse activity with accomplishment.

The real traveller is the one who continues his journey even when the road ends!
