“I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do…”

Context: I jumped into the water with 45 sharks without a cage in the Bahamas for a Discovery Channel show. That was a really good experience. I'm not saying that everyone should swim with sharks, but sometimes you have to jump over your own shadow in order to learn something that you will never forget for the rest of your life. Then you know you can conquer your fears.

“You can't make people love you but you can make them fear you”

“You can make up your own story when you look at a photo.”
