KEY TAKEAWAYS Never let any barrier keep you from dreaming big and striving to achieve the dreams of your mind. Nothing can ever stop you if you're willing enough. Victory isn't always about who crosses the line first - it's about who you cross the line with. The best way to deal with failure is to laugh it off and try again. There's no sense in feeling bitter when you can pick yourself up and try again. The legacies we create in life can stretch on through generations. if we're strong enough to teach people resilience and fortitude, then those qualities can transfer through time.
