For me, life is about continuously being hungry. It's meaning is not simply to just exist or to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. Strength does not come from winning.

There's really an attitude to winning. You have to see yourself winning before you win. And you have to be hungry. You have to want to conquer.
