Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know.

Every man, every woman who has to take up the service of government, must ask themselves two questions: 'Do I love my people in order to serve them better? Am I humble and do I listen to everybody, to diverse opinions in order to choose the best path?' If you don't ask those questions, your governance will not be good.

We got to roll with the punches, play all our hunches, make the best of whatever comes your way.

I only follow my voice inside. If it guides me wrong and I do not win, I'll learn from my mistakes and try to achieve again.

Whatever you do, you must never let the voice in your head control the brain in your heart.

It's good to know who hates you, and it's good to be hated by the right people.
