I'm just going to do what I want to do, and I'm going to go ahead and do it, despite the challenges.

And like I said, not every day is a great day.

Sometimes things don't work out the way you want them to work out.

I missed a two-footer yesterday for $20.

I was so pissed off.

The next time I have that two-footer, I better make it.

So again, I'm...

I'm not that deep a guy.

I'm not that smart a guy I just live my life the way I want to live it with with total respect for my family and my my kids and my wife and Usually things are gonna work out.

Well, and if they don't there's another day and I'll figure that out and

I've never met a person that's successful because they're lucky.

People are successful because they understand the values of work.

And again, I'll go back to my dad always said, if you understand the value of work, at some point in your life, you'll be successful.

And it might not be today or tomorrow or next month, but when you're the best at what you do,

I guarantee it's the time and effort and work that you put in.

And those are the values that are important.

Whatever field you're in, whatever challenges you have, if you're not willing to work hard at it, you're not going to be successful.

So I worked hard at everything that I've done, whether as an athlete or if I happen to go in a different direction.

You know, if sports ended and I went, which it did, I went into a new direction, I worked damn hard at what I do in order to be successful at what I do.

And I think that's, to me, it's pretty simple.
