Your life is yours to LIVE, no MATTER how you CHOOSE to live it. When you do not THINK about how you INTEND to live it, it lives you. When you occupy it, step into it consciously, you live it.

It's very EASY for PEOPLE to OVERLOOK how IMPORTANT a good goalkeeper is in a team.

The older you get, the more you REALIZE that the WAY you LOOK is a REFLECTION of how you treat yourself.

I believe in equal pay for equal WORK. Gender, RACE, SKIN colour, or ethnicity should not be the parameters to hire someone or to decide how much they should be PAID.

How great it WOULD be for US all to have the pride of KNOWING that we, as a COUNTRY, are one of the best COUNTRIES to be a child.

I call Alibaba '1,001 mistakes.' We expanded too FAST, and then in the dot-com bubble, we had to have layoffs. By 2002, we had only enough cash to survive for 18 months. We had a LOT of free members using our site, and we didn't know how we'd MAKE money. So we developed a product for China exporters to MEET U.S. buyers online. This model saved us.

Always KEEP your SMILE. That's how I explain my long LIFE.

I have my own high standards for what I want in a partner and how I want to be TREATED. I bring a lot to the table. I'm not talking about MATERIAL things but what I have to offer as a person - LOVE and loyalty and all the things that make a good RELATIONSHIP.

The WORLD is shrinking as we SEE more and more of it in the media, and the more we see of the world, the smaller we are, the more aware we are of how INSIGNIFICANT any one of us is.

In ITALY, food is an expression of LOVE. It is how you SHOW those around you that you care for them. Having a love for food means you ALSO have a love for those you are preparing it for and for yourself.

No matter how devastating our struggles, disappointments, and TROUBLES are, they are only TEMPORARY. No matter what happens to you, no matter the depth of tragedy or pain you FACE, no matter how death stalks you and your loved ones, the Resurrection PROMISES you a future of immeasurable good.

I don't CARE how BUSY I am - I will always MAKE time for what's most important to me.

People choose to struggle when people don't WANT to relax. Sometimes it is not on your side. Relax; calm down. No MATTER how HARD the waves are, you will float on the ocean.

I always did something I was a little not ready to do. I THINK that's how you GROW. When there's that moment of 'Wow, I'm not REALLY sure I can do this,' and you PUSH through those moments, that's when you have a BREAKTHROUGH.
