Many people, including those from the BWF, don't really understand what the main problems in badminton are and what it most needs because many officials are not competitors.

It is for me to realise my value and put in the effort to win big tournaments.

It should not all be about badminton.

It is good to be in front of the lens to appreciate more being behind the lens.

If it's not televised, there's no way Americans will know about competitive badminton. All they know is the back-yard thing.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.
