For me it\'s the challenge -- the challenge to try to beat myself or do better than I did in the past. I try to keep in mind not what I have accomplished but what I have to try to accomplish in the future.

Quotes from the same author

The greatest finish line for me was finishing college - it was a pact I made with my mother, during a time when she fell ill.
