A thank you list

I would like to thank all those who supported and inspired me to train, all my training partners and training instructors, all those who believed in me and made me believe in myself, and to all those who forbade me to train, bullied me or tried to stop my training since they motivated me the most to train harder! Without your priceless help, I couldn't have been on the path I am now! Thank you!
