In order to gain something you must work hard.
I am one of those people who love all aspects of life.
I do not like meeting stupid, arrogant people.
For everything in my life I am grateful to my family, my parents and my diligence.
Sometimes we must all pay a price for success.
To live means to be healthy, successful and happy with everything I see.
I like beautiful women and fast luxury cars.
I hope one day to be able to say to myself that I have done no deliberate harm to anyone and that people liked me.
It is important to remember that no glory reaches heaven and that no one is irreplaceable.
Always strive to have a clean slate so that people hold you in esteem.
One must have as much money so as to secure a comfortable life for oneself and one's whole family,
so that the money only helps and does no harm.
I love Prague because the city has no equal in the world.
