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.

Miss Navarrete, from Guadalajara, won over the judges in Las Vegas after telling them it was vital to teach children family values.

"I want to give my parents a big hug," she said. "There was a lot of effort and a lot of sacrifice."

When asked how she felt about unsupervised Internet use, Miss Navarrete said the internet is important but parents need to be careful.

"I do believe that internet is an indispensable, necessary tool for the present time," she said through an interpreter. "We must be sure to teach them the values that we learned as a family."

First runner-up was Miss Jamaica Yendi Phillipps, while second runner-up was Miss Australia Jesinta Campbell.

Miss Navarrete, who has been modeling since she was 15, is Mexico's second Miss Universe.

Lupita Jones of Mexico won the title in 1991. Miss Navarrete replaces Miss Universe 2009 Stefania Fernandez of Venezuela.

Her win thwarted Miss Venezuela Marelisa Gibson from giving the South American country a third consecutive victory.

She was immediately congratulated on Twitter by Mexican President Felipe Calderon and his wife, Margarita Zavala.

"Congratulations to Jimena Navarrete for her deserved victory as Miss Universe," Calderon said. "This will serve Mexico, [and] our image as a country."

Miss Navarrete won prizes which include an undisclosed salary, a luxury New York apartment with living expenses, a one-year scholarship to the New York Film Academy with housing after her reign, as well as jewelry, clothes and shoes.

Miss USA has not been named Miss Universe since Brook Lee won the title in 1997.

The pageant started as a local bathing suit competition in Long Beach, California in 1952.

Miss Universe is owned by Donald Trump and broadcast on NBC.
