The opponents and I are really one. My strength and skills only half of the equation. The other half is theirs. An opponent is someone whose strength joined to yours creates a certain result.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've got to know my strength and weaknesses and the same for my competitors.
I am someone that is very competitive. When I'm on the field, I compete. When I'm practicing, when I'm in meetings. I'm a competitor in everything.
Victory in physical battles requires strength, muscles, and skill; but the fight is never tougher and victory is never sweeter than in the battles over self.
When I'm competing, I need to be strong.
Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
I'm pretty athletic, but I'm not very strong.
I don't really pick my opponents.
Enemies make you stronger, allies make you weaker.
I'm a fighter. I'm very competitive.
Irrespective of who's up against me at tournaments, I have always relied completely on my own strengths to get as far as I can, and tried to adapt my game according to the match-situation.
