I never felt outside pressure. I knew what I wanted to accomplish, and I knew how much work it took to achieve those goals. I then put in the work and trusted in it. Besides, the expectations I placed on myself were higher than what anyone expected from me.

PRESIÓN Nunca sentí presión externa. Yo sabía lo que quería conseguir y el gran trabajo que tenía que hacer para lograr estas metas. Así que hacía el trabajo y confiaba en él. Además, las expectativas que yo tenía de mí mismo eran mayores que las de todos los demás.
