Success and failure are only the result of our efforts and our intentions. Both are temporary. We should focus on the journey and not on the destination. There are no failures. Life is a continuous learning experience. Everything is part of a greater plan and we are here to do our best.

An Interview With Nicole Faria After Winning the Miss Earth 2010 Crown

Describe your childhood when you were growing up from 8 to 13 years old.

Up to age 11, I was shy and an average kid. Then at age 12 I changed and became more confident and self assured. I made new friends and started expressing myself in an assertive manner. At that stage, I was formulating my plans based on my dream to be recognized on the world's stage. I started working out and focused on eating healthy and looking good.

What lessons did you learn from your childhood/growing years?

I learnt that life is a continuous never-ending learning experience. We may not realize why some things work and why some don't. In the ultimate analysis, everything is a part of a greater plan and we are here to do our best – while we enjoy every victory and we learn and grow from every loss.

Life is a cosmic game and I am one of its star players. However, when I am required to sit in the stands, I will also enjoy being a spectator while I applaud the players on the field.

What is your attitude toward success and failure?

Success and failure are only the result of our efforts and our intentions. Both are temporary. We should focus on the journey and not on the destination. Success breeds success . There are no failures, only learning experiences.

What is your environmental advocacy?

The conservation of fossil fuels and natural resources like water and forests.

So, what's on your mind right now, in this winning moment?
I just want to sit back and cherish the moment. I have created history. Now I want to enjoy just that. And of course I want to hug my mom. She’s super happy and proud. I have only her and God to thank today.

From top 18 to 10 to 5 and finally to winning... how were the thoughts moving?
Don't know if anyone noticed, but every time they were announcing the winners, my name was the last to be announced. So it used to be a complete roller coaster ride for me. Every time I thot ab gai ab gai.. but God saved me!

When did you weave the dream to stand where you are today?
It all began the day I saw the blue crown on intact on Aishwarya Rai's head. So, you can say when other girls were dreaming to become Miss India, my eyes were still set on that blue crown of Miss World. And this victory is a part of the other big journey.

So is Aishwarya Rai Bachchan your inspiration?
Well, to be honest, I don't find inspiration in a single person. I seek for things to learn from anybody and everybody I see around me in my everyday life. I keep embracing good things from wherever I can.

What will be your message to all those girls who want to be where you are today?
Believe in yourself and go ahead!
