Zitat des Tages von Wilma Rudolph:
It doesn't matter what you're trying to accomplish. It's all a matter of discipline. I was determined to discover what life held for me beyond the inner-city streets.
Sometimes it takes years to really grasp what has happened to your life.
My doctor told me I would never walk again. My mother told me I would. I believed my mother.
When the sun is shining I can do anything; no mountain is too high, no trouble too difficult to overcome.
I have spent a lifetime trying to share what it has meant to be a woman first in the world of sports so that other young women have a chance to reach their dreams.
The feeling of accomplishment welled up inside of me, three Olympic gold medals. I knew that was something nobody could ever take away from me, ever.
Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us.
I believe in me more than anything in this world.
I don't know why I run so fast. I just run.
No matter what accomplishments you make, somebody helps you.
I ran and ran and ran every day, and I acquired this sense of determination, this sense of spirit that I would never, never give up, no matter what else happened.
When I ran, I felt like a butterfly that was free.
There were good jobs, but they were never what I wanted to do. Somehow, people always thought of Wilma Rudolph as a threat.
