I had no support, no opportunity, no sponsors backing me for most of my career.

I learned my weaknesses at the Asian Games and other competitions where I lost. My guard was down.

I am blessed with a reasonable athletic talent and was an athlete in school.

My normal weight category is 48 kg. So for the 51 kg. category, I had to depend on lots of food and drinks before going in for the weigh-in. But that does not make my strength, my muscles. It's a little bit different. If there's a 48 kg. category, it's a perfect fit for me.

Before I debuted, it was my goal to make my debut, and afterwards, I aimed at winning champion titles on television music shows, and I hoped for a chance to perform as a soloist.

Ask any successful person to look back over the events of his or her life, and chances are there'll be a turning point of one kind or another. It doesn't matter if that success has come on a ball field or in a boardroom, in a research laboratory or on a campaign trail - it can usually be traced to some pivotal moment.

I learned from my first restaurant: Make customers happy, make sure the customer comes back again. And automatically, success has followed me.

Nothing recedes like success.
