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

When I was eight years old, I was always starving. My brother and sister died from starvation.

My ambition when I was four years old was to be married.

Being successful at a very young age gave me the confidence and the capability to try out other things.

My success was due to good luck, hard work, and support and advice from friends and mentors. But most importantly, it depended on me to keep trying after I had failed.

Even though I am extremely blessed to have accomplished many of my goals at such a young age, I am still reaching, still striving.

When it came to my childhood - growing up in a single-parent home, often struggling financially - my mother definitely instilled in me and my siblings this strength, this will, to just continue to survive and succeed.

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

Whatever success I may have attained is due to the fact that since I was old enough to work at all, my ambition has never deserted me.

I came to success very late in life.
