Going from idea to production is a huge hurdle. It took me a while to overcome it. It's basically all about self discipline, right?
I think everybody has tragedy in their life. Everybody has hurdles in their life. Everybody has tough things to overcome. My kids say to me, 'This isn't fair.' I said, 'Life isn't fair.' Everybody has their issues. It's how you handle your issues that distinguishes you.
Greatness finds us by obstacles in front of us. I don’t look at hurdles as obstacles blocking my path but opportunities to overcome.
In my race, there's 10 hurdles, but in life, there is always a hurdle. There is always something you gotta get over, and it's what you do, you know.
Track is my passion. I started playing at 4.
Success comes after you conquer your biggest obstacles and hurdles.
If you don't have problems, you don't have opportunities.
In 100m, the timings fluctuate.
Everybody has barriers and obstacles. If you look at them as containing fences that don't allow you to advance, then you're going to be a failure. If you look at them as hurdles that strengthen you each time you go over one, then you're going to be a success.
Every challenge has its own unique problems.
I actually like indoor track and field more than outdoor.
I would like to have a decathlon where all of my throws are really consistent and set the tone. That I'm good all-around, not just a speed and jump guy.
We don't have any problems, apart from the problems we have.
Track and field has always interested me.
Everyone has to face obstacles. Everybody has to face hurdles. It's what you do with those that determines how successful you're going to be.
I'm confident in my strengths. I'm prepared to jump any hurdle.
'Somebody That I Used to Know,' like a lot of the record, was a bit of a struggle to finish. It was written fairly quickly - I wrote it in November 2010 - but it took six months to find Kimbra and really realize she was the right vocalist to make the female part come to life. There were constant hurdles.
Getting started as a volunteer anywhere can be a challenge to a lot of people. The biggest hurdle is that people think they have to give all of their spare time. But if you only have a half hour, you can still make a difference. Assisting with small tasks is invaluable.
We all have roadblocks; we all have challenges.
There is no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles.
Your fears are not walls, but hurdles. Courage is not the absence of fear, but the conquering of it.
When I was younger, I used to be a high jumper before I switched to hurdles.
On immigration, there are a lot of hurdles before anything arrives at the White House.
People forget that track and field is one of the hardest sports because we compete against all the world. There are many sports when you are up against only 15 or 20 countries.
We have enormous challenges in front of us.
