Aimee Mullins Quotes, Softball Quotes, Sports Quotes

Success isn't winning every time. A lot of different factors go into every race, and you can't control all of them. Success means doing as excellent a job as you can on that particular day. The people I admire most aren't necessarily the most wonderful athletes. I admire the ones who keep coming back and doing it, time after time.

Truthfully, the only real and consistent disability I’ve had to confront is the world ever thinking that I could be described by those definitions.
