If you don't encounter setbacks in your career, if you don't have doubts and disappointments, let me tell you, you're not dreaming big enough.

Throughout my career, I fed off the fuel of people not being able to understand me.

I just appreciate still having the longevity that I've had in my career.

I'm not really a career person; I'm a gardener, basically.

Adversity makes you stronger, don't give in, don't back down, and never stop doing what you know is right. Nothing worth doing, ever ever ever came easy, and the more righteous you fight, the more opposition that you will face. I've accomplished a tremendous amount, in a very short time as president.

As your career grows, the list of things that makes you happy should not become smaller, it should become bigger.
