You know, my family and friends have never been yes-men: Yes, youre doing the right thing, youre always right. No, they tell me when Im wrong, and thats why Ive been able to stay who I am and stay humble. – LeBron James
When I was 5, some financial things happened, and I moved seven times in a year. We moved from apartment to apartment, sometimes living with friends. My mom would always say, Dont get comfortable, because we may not be here long. – LeBron James

I run because its my passion, and not just a sport. Every time I walk out the door, I know why Im going where Im going and Im already focused on that special place where I find my peace and solitude.
