"I hope it will show people that, no matter what challenges you face in life, you are always able to come out of it stronger," he said. He added:"It's important to know that between adversity and outcome, what happens and how it ends, there's always space and time. "You can give in, which is the easiest thing to do, or do the hard thing and have faith in your own ability, which a lot of people don't have.
