If You're Going To Dedicate

I Was Afraid The Teacher Was Going To Make Me Read In Front Of Class And I Was Going To Look Bad. [but] If I Wasn't Dyslexic, I Probably Wouldn't Have Won The Games. If I Had Been A Better Reader, Then That Would Have Come Easily, Sports Would Have Come Easily. And I Never Would Have Realized That The Way You Get Ahead In Life Is Hard Work.

If You're Going To Dedicate Every Second To Winning The Decathlon, What Are You Doing Wasting Your Time In Bed?

The Truth Is Everybody Does It From Time To Time. People Dial Telephone Numbers And They Get A Wrong Number Only To Find That They've Read The Last Two Digits Backwards. Everybody Does It, But Dyslexics Have This Tendency To A Higher Degree.

The Most Challenging Aspect Of The Decathlon Is Not The Events Themselves, But How You Train To Become The Best 100-meter Runner You Are On The Same Day That You're The Best 1,500-meter Runner.

If I Was Lying On My Deathbed And I Had Kept This Secret And Never Ever Did Anything About It, I Would Be Lying There Saying, 'you Just Blew Your Entire Life.'
