I was bullied. I was a bit of a geek. Good-looking guys were off-limits. I didn't start dating until I was 18.

My wife, she still gives me a hard time, and says I hunt too much or I like to play golf too much. And she's probably right, but it sure beats some of the things I used to do.

You can't believe your own hype, or your own worst moments. Neither is as important as knowing your "why. " The harder the challenges are, the more this matters.
