My message has always been about resilience.

People inspire me. Every day, I meet amazing individuals in the field. When I see a mother who has walked for three weeks to come to a MSF clinic, with two kids on her back and her belongings on her head, facing intimidation and physical abuse on her way, I am inspired by her resilience - her desire for life.

Part of resilience is deciding to make yourself miserable over something that matters, or deciding to make yourself miserable over something that doesn't matter.

My childhood gave me resilience - and there's little that can surprise me in life.

Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it's less good than the one you had before.

Human beings have enormous resilience.

I'm also pretty resilient and fearless, and when I want something I go for it.

People who imagine and implement solutions to challenges in their own lives, in their communities, in our country and in our world have always inspired me.

When I look back, some of the greatest people in the history of the world have created things where paths have never been with such resiliency.

Obviously, resilience matters. I was no stranger to adversity, but it's different when it's personal. Not something I would recommend.
