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

Surrounding Yourself with Positivity and Productivity

I don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run toward it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your feet.

The Path to Overcoming Fear

Hard work has made it easy. That is my secret. That is why I win.

Hard Work as the Key to Ease and Success

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

Growth Journey

Other kids had more talent, but I was the most focused.

Focus Over Talent

Life is not easy for anyone. You have to have ups and downs. You can make mistakes. You learn and try not to make them again. That's pretty much my principle.

Learning from Ups and Downs

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

 Embracing the Journey of Continuous Improvement

I believe that what she has accomplished is quite admirable, and we could learn a great deal by examining her work ethic

If there were such a thing as an "elder" stateswoman in women's gymnastics today, Nadia Comaneci would win that title as readily as she once won gold medals. Olga Korbut came before her, and many other medalists would follow, but none has ever been as dominant in winning the hearts of millions around the world. With grit and determination, Nadia Comaneci ushered in a new era for women's sports, one where young girls could vault into the arena of superstardom. Even today, almost thirty years after her greatest triumphs, you need only mention the name "Nadia" and gymnastics fans know instantly whom you are talking about. In Letters to a Young Gymnast, Nadia shows what it takes to achieve athletic perfection and become the best. With inspiring and dramatic stories from her own experience, she tells us how the young girl that Bela Karolyi discovered in a Romanian elementary school found the inner strength to become a world-class athlete at such a young age. This collection of Nadia's memories, anecdotes, and advice grants unique insights into the mind of a top competitor. From how to live after you've realized your dream, to the necessity of "a spirit forged with mettle," Nadia's thoughts on athleticism and sacrifice are eye-opening and surprisingly challenging.
