“Let me tell you something you already know. The world aint all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place, and I dont care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me or nobody is going to hit as hard as life. But it aint about how hard you hit, it is about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, how much you can take and keep moving forward. Thats how winning is done! Now, if you know what youre worth, then go out and get what youre worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hit, and not pointing fingers saying you aint where you are because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that aint you. Youre better than that! Im always gonna love you, no matter what. No matter what happens. Youre my son, youre my blood. Youre the best thing in my life. But until you start believing in yourself, you aint gonna have a life.”
