One of the bigger misconceptions of learning is that many skills take a lifetime to get world-class at, or 10,000 hours to become world-class at.

Practise things you're good at. Keep on top of things you're not so good at, but be world-class at your best. Never think, 'I'm very good at this and that, I can leave those for a bit.'

The world is the true classroom. The most rewarding and important type of learning is through experience, seeing something with our own eyes.

People say I'm not world level, but I haven't fought at that class yet, so you can't say that until I have.

People say the most important thing is building a world-class team.

As long as you try your best, that is all that matters. You don't have to be the fastest runner or top of the class.

In today's global economy, however, it is important to raise the bar of excellence even higher. Today's students must be prepared to compete effectively on an international level.

If you want to remain the best, you have to keep on doing what you are good at.

I've always been really ambitious, whatever I do. At school, I always wanted to be the best in the class - no, it wasn't enough to be the best in the class, I'd want to be the best in the country.

Class is the sure-footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life.
