Sometimes we may ask God for success, and He gives us physical and mental stamina. We might plead for prosperity, and we receive enlarged perspective and increased patience, or we petition for growth and are blessed with the gift of grace. He may bestow upon us conviction and confidence as we strive to achieve worthy goals.

Rockefeller once explained the secret of success. 'Get up early, work late - and strike oil.'

There was a time I desperately needed for the world to know that I was no category guy. My whole goal in life was to reach that certain success where people will say, 'Hey, that guy can do anything. He's the Evel Knievel of music. He's jumping over 15 buses!'

I feel like, in some level, in our biggest moments of success we were always the underdog.

The success of 'Luke Cage' breaking Netflix was the reason why we have 'Black Panther' and why we have 'Black Lightning,' 'Cloak & Dagger,' and all of these shows that are popping that represent this reinvigoration of people's love and interest in black superheroes.

Well, I do feel that I carry the responsibility of representing my country wherever I am, and this responsibility came with the success that I had in last couple of years, not just myself but the whole group of tennis players that comes from Serbia. And athletes in general are, in this moment, the biggest ambassadors that our country has.
