Bruce Jenner Quotes

• First of all, I try to be a positive role model.

• I always felt that my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability.

• Waving the flag at the 1976 Olympics wasn't my idea. It was too much apple pie and ice cream. Not that I don't love my country, but I felt it was my victory up there, I put all the time into it

• I spent twelve years training for a career that was over in a week. Joe Namath spent one week training for a career that lasted twelve years

• If you're going to dedicate every second to winning the decathlon, what are you doing wasting your time in bed?

• Start early and begin raising the bar throughout the day.

• To me, the definition of focus is knowing exactly where you want to be today, next week, next month, next year, then never deviating from your plan. Once you can see, touch and feel your objective, all you have to do is pull back and put all your strength behind it, and you'll hit your target every time.

• I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win - if you don't, you won't.”

• If you want to take your mission in life to the next level, if you're stuck and you don't know how to rise, don't look outside yourself. Look inside. Don't let your fears keep you mired in the crowd. Abolish your fears and raise your commitment level to the point of no return, and I guarantee you that the Champion Within will burst forth to propel you toward victory.

• I always felt that my greatest asset was not my physical ability, it was my mental ability.

• I learned that the only way you are going to get anywhere in life is to work hard at it. Whether you're a musician, a writer, an athlete or a businessman, there is no getting around it. If you do, you'll win - if you don't, you won't.

• I didn't only have a perceptual problem, I was also so nervous and so upset. The process just didn't work. I lost enthusiasm for school and I flunked second grade. The teachers said I was lazy.

• I spent twelve years training for a career that was over in a week. Joe Namath spent one week training for a career that lasted twelve years.

• I still have nightmares about taking tests.

• I thought everybody else was doing much better than I was.

• I was growing up in the 50's and 60's. Back then they didn't even know what dyslexia was.

• If I wasn't dyslexic, I probably wouldn't have won the Games. If I had been a better reader, then that would have come easily, sports would have come easily... and I never would have realized that the way you get ahead in life is hard work.

• If you are a kid, reading is really important stuff.

• When the time comes for your brain to process the information, the second word comes up faster than the first one. So when it's in your head, all of a sudden, it comes out backwards and you think of the word backwards.

• We put so much pressure on kids to excel in school at such a young age.

• Waving the flag at the 1976 Olympics wasn't my idea. It was too much apple pie and ice cream. Not that I don't love my country, but I felt it was my victory up there, I put all the time into it.

• Our mission for younger people is to do our best to make exercise cool, hip - the thing to do.
