You've got to get to the stage in life where going for it is more important than winning or losing.

There are more important things in life than winning or losing a game.

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

You learn more from losing than winning. You learn how to keep going.

My potential is more than can be expressed within the bounds of my race or ethnic identity.

I don't care who you are, you're going to choke in certain matches. You get to a point where your legs don't move and you can't take a deep breath. You start to hit the ball about a yard wide, instead of inches.
