Victories don’t always come immediately, but if you work hard, even in the toughest times, success becomes possible.

My fear is living under occupation.

One of the best investments that yields significant results in life is constant growth in all areas.

For me, success means achieving results in sports and personal life and having a positive impact on those around me.

Every defeat brought me not only negative emotions but also valuable experience, teaching me to see setbacks as part of the path to success.

Stay open to new ideas and opportunities.
