My message is that it's never too late. If it's something you want to do or if it's important to you, go for it.

Sometimes, you follow your dreams. I say to the young people, 'If you have a dream, chase it.'

There's no reason to hold yourself back and say you can't do something in life unless you go for it and try to do it.

When I say about 'dream is free,' I don't only mean about basketball or to be in the NBA like Serge Ibaka. No. I mean in general, in anything you do. You can do anything you want, anything you dream about. You can do it. You just have to know the dream is free. And dream is free for everybody.

Don't be limited by the expectations of others. You can always be better and do more.

Every opportunity that comes your way, you can't take lightly. You have to take it very, very seriously, because the opportunities are limited. If you want to keep working, you can't be such an elitist, to say no, that's not good enough, not big enough, not smart enough, whatever.

If you like something, go for it.

I believe people have to follow their dreams - I did.

Follow your passion. The rest will attend to itself. If I can do it, anybody can do it. It's possible. And it's your turn. So go for it. It's never too late to become what you always wanted to be in the first place.

It is important always to make full use of opportunities that come your way, and at the same time, it is important to not just cope with the challenges but try and convert each challenge into an opportunity.

Don't let the Monday morning quarterbacks stop you from being bold. You've got to set a high bar.

I would encourage you to set really high goals. Set goals that, when you set them, you think they're impossible. But then every day you can work towards them, and anything is possible, so keep working hard and follow your dreams.

If you really have a passion for something, you should follow it and listen to your inner voice.

Go out and chase your dreams no matter how crazy it looks.

Trust your passion. Believe in your dream.

The thing that I've always believed is that you have to follow your passion, and if climbing is your calling in life and your craft, to not do it is a tragedy. I am always going to encourage my children to follow their passions and dreams, whatever they are.
