Today Quotes

I remember getting advice like, "Oh, do what interests you. Don't worry about tomorrow, live for today," kind of thing. And to a degree, you've got to do that, you've got to follow your passions. You've got to follow your dreams, but you also have to have a plan. You can't just say I'm going to do what interests me today and I'm not going to worry about tomorrow, that doesn't work. And anyone who's tried that I think quickly finds that out. Think about what turns you on, what do you dream about? But along with that, make a plan and work hard to make it happen.

It's been a really worthwhile test and we've achieved a lot. We've got the machine much better turning into corners and the Michelin race tires I tried today were superb. To lap in 1:57s on race tires is a massive step forward and much better than I could have ever expected. We've improved the machine, found some good tires and I think I've improved my riding as well over these past two days. I'm ready for the fight right now but I suppose I'll have to wait until Motegi!

Looking back today over the years, we may well be proud of the work which our fellow citizens have done in India. There have, of course, been mistakes, there have been failures, but we can assert that our rule in India will stand comparison with that of any other nation which has been charged with the ruling of a people so different from themselves.
