Statistics mean nothin' to me. I only see the highest apple hangin' up on the tree.

They thought I would never rise, but after they laughed with themselves they had to look up to find me.

My standard's higher than a hoe's heels.

When I make a decision, I am resolved to carry out that decision, until all avenues of achieving it have been exhausted, whether I fail or succeed, and THEN I rest.

We take forever trying to attain success in life, only to find out it lasts but a Sunday.

There is no option. Excellence is the only way forward, and there's this huge wall behind me call achievement that prevents me from turning around or going backward. Sorry.
