Jesse Owens is a world famous athlete. After gettingr his first Olympic gold medal, he spoke the following lines:
"To those of you who laughed at me, thank you.
Without you, I wouldnt have cried.
To those of you who couldnt just love me, thank you.
Without you, I wouldn't have known real love.
To those of you who hurt my feelings, thank you.
Without you, I wouldn't have felt them.
To those of you who left me lonely, thank you.
Without you, I wouldn't have discovered myself.
But it is to those of you who thought I couldn't do it;
It is you I thank the most,
Because without you, I wouldn't have tried"
