我為自己面對挫折的方式感到自豪。每當你感到沮喪時是十分難過辛苦，你會想：＂為什麼是上天要這樣對我？” 但是你必須要重新振作起來，才能令自己成為一個更好的運動員。

"Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That's what little girls are made of; the heck with sugar and spice."

The pressures. God, the pressures – when I think of them now. As I say, it was a journey and a half. But the only way is to fight your way out and keep going until the dream comes true." 

「壓力，上天啊！壓力。」每次我感到有壓力時，都會把它當作是這趟旅程的一半，而唯一的解決方法，就是堅持下去，直到實現夢想時的一刻。

不要放棄，並要為自己所做的事感到自信。也許你會經歷許多艱難的時刻，但只要你選擇勇於面對，這些難題只會讓你更有決心去實現你的目標及戰勝一切的障礙。
