Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

Push yourself again and again. Don’t give an inch until the final buzzer sounds.

— Larry Bird

Everything negative — pressure, challenges — are all an opportunity for me to rise.

— Kobe Bryant
