We've got something special. I mean, we have a great life and I've had a great competition record. It could have been better, but it was great. But I've had success with my business and we're still out there and we have a great life. We travel all the world. And there's people out there that would live in your house at the drop of a hat, wherever you are. They drive your car everywhere.

No matter what car it is, some people haven't got a car. And whatever food you're having and you're moaning about food, there's somebody out there that would take that and gladly eat that. So there's always somebody worse off than you. And I think that we tend to sometimes look at the things that we haven't got rather than the things we have got.

Yeah. You know, and all of a sudden, and I see the ones that are going to second Olympic Games and then third Olympic, and the ones that are there and they're holding on and they're in their 30s now, different to when they were 19 years of age, you know, 30 something is different to 19. And then what are you going to do afterwards? You know, and then how do you become just a normal person?

You're never going to be a normal person. As such, but I think you've got to do normal things, you know, and then you've got, I remember the first time that when I finished competition, I had good sponsors. This was, you know, 40 years ago, but I had two really good sponsorships, Vitamin Company and also Judoge Company. And I had a car and, you know, I had money.

I just, and I was going all over the world. I was successful. And then I stopped. And they took everything back. They took my car. And they did it within two weeks as well. They stopped my funding. And the vitamin company said, thank you very much. It's been a great, you know, we've done well by you. Bye bye.

So you go from seven days a week or six days a week going into the gym and you're working out the dojo and then you don't have to do it. And that's why you get a lot of... When they finish competition, they finish that 30 to 40. I mean, Ilyas is still doing it now. He's still in there and he's still, you know, because he can, right? Okay. And it's natural. And I did exactly the same.
