I became quite successful very young, and it was mainly because I was so enthusiastic and I just worked so hard at it.

I had a very strong desire to be successful at something.

Growing up, I started developing confidence in what I felt. My parents helped me to believe in myself. I wasn't the best looking guy, I wasn't the best athlete in the world, but they made me feel good about myself.

Confidence, as a teenager? Because I knew what I loved. I loved to read; I loved to listen to music; and I loved cats. Those three things. So, even though I was an only kid, I could be happy because I knew what I loved.

I think I was so successful, not because I was brilliant, but because I was so young. I had no fear of consequences.

When I was 4 years old, my brother and sister died of hunger, so I achieved my success through confidence, self-motivation and my hard work.

Confidence was the backbone of my upbringing. I was an only child, so I was spoilt, loved, and given an enormous amount of confidence by my parents.

Whatever it is that gives you that confidence will vary from person to person, but I do believe that it is the key to succeeding at anything in life - career, relationships, anything.

Success came to us at an age where we could enjoy it. We went through a lot of hard times, so we appreciate success all the more now.

I was not emotionally mature enough to accept any kind of success when I was young. I needed to go that long route.
