Achievers train for a purpose. They train for themselves and train all the time. They think and anticipate all the time. They improvise and keep on adding to their skills. Even if they lose some time , they emerge as a more stronger soul. MARY KOM is one such fighter Indian champion . Mary was born in a poor tribal family in far flung Indian state of MANIPUR. She worked in the fields and helped her parents. She was inspired to take to Boxing and started learning it with gusto. Mary’s determination and belief in herself started winning her medals and recognition. Mary Kom is the only boxer to have won a medal in each of the six world cup championships so far including 5 Gold medals. Mary also added to her illustrious exploits a bronze in 2012 OLYMPIC GAMES as well as many medals at ASIAN level. Marys gold in Asian Games recently held in September 14 is really special. Marys’ achievements are all the more noteworthy as Manipur has hardly produced any female idol & MARY has risen like a star from nowhere. No wonder, MARY is nicknamed as MAGNIFICIENT MARY. Mary has been true to her love of boxing and quote of ARNOLD HORSHOK sums it up comprehensively * Winning is nice if you don’t lose your integrity in the process.*
