"I don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way..." — Nadia Comaneci

Of course I used to smile and laugh in 1976, but not when I was competing. Please show me somebody who laughs when they are concentrating; I always smiled.

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

You can't jump from little things to big things. It just takes time and patience.

Enjoy the journey and try to get better every day. And don't lose the passion and the love for what you do.
