I enjoyed my 15 years at the top, and now I enjoy watching the current crop. What I did, maybe they can't do, and what they do, perhaps I couldn't do. It's like that. I wanted to simply be the best. On a professional level, I wanted to be No. 1, and I worked hard to be that.
Generally the younger generation are not hard working. They will have to put in more effort to achieve results in tournaments. most of them can perform well but they cannot deliver when they play abroad.
Without hard work and discipline it is difficult to be a top professional.
If you have the passion to do something, work hard, stay honest and nothing can stop you to accomplish it.
To be the best, I had to work harder than everyone else.
