Siddhartha Sahai

“You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”

“I need to be the greatest fighter of the Omehi,” Tau said, fighting for calm, his fingernails digging into his palms. “Can you give me that?”
Jayyed grew serious. “I can’t give you anything. It might be something you can take, if you’re willing.”
“I am.”
“We’ll see. The cost for greatness is high.”
“I’ll pay anything.”
“Your life?” Jayyed asked, causing Tau to stop. “That’s the price. Life is nothing more than moments in time. To achieve greatness, you have to give up those moments. You have to give your life to your goal.”
“Easily paid,” Tau told him.”

“I learned one important thing over those years. If a guy like me was going to get respect, he had to be five times better than the others. He had to train ten times harder. Otherwise, he didn't have a chance. Especially if he had been a bike thief.”
