As an Olympic champion gymnast, I have always stayed involved in my sport.

I ended up in the US for a month or so, before moving to Montreal with some Romanian friends.

I know how to smile, I know how to laugh, I know how to play. But I know how to do these things only after I have fulfilled my mission.

If I work on a certain move constantly, then finally, it doesn't seem risky to me. The idea is that the move stays dangerous and it looks dangerous to my foes, but it is not to me. Hard work has made it easy.

Of course, most people remember that I received the first perfect 10 in Olympic gymnastics competition.

You should also appreciate the goodness around you, and surround yourself with positive people.

When you fall, leap to your feet and try again.
