I was world number two, but I did not do good in it. I know the taste of losing and then winning. It&#8217;s the beauty of sports. One competition you lose, and you can win the other. But, it would only happen if you put in hard work,&#8221; said Bhaker.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lOvcW\">\n<p class=\"efT4r\">Manu Bhaker Exclusive: From Tokyo To Paris With A Tattoo, A Target And Triumphs<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Bhaker&#8217;s message resonated deeply with the audience as she candidly addressed her struggles after the Tokyo Olympics, where she fell short of expectations despite being ranked second globally.<br \/>Emphasizing the importance of ambition, Bhaker urged students to &#8220;dream big&#8221; and supplement their aspirations with unwavering effort. <br \/>&#8220;To achieve the goal, we must put in a lot of hard work and effort. It doesn&#8217;t always start with aiming for something big, you also have to work to achieve it. If you can dream big, you can achieve big. So, always start by dreaming big. I always tell myself that no matter if I win or lose in any competition, I&#8217;ll always be very confident and hold myself high and together, and be very confident. We have many career options. You don&#8217;t have to become a doctor or an engineer. Sports life is a beautiful life. From financial support to any kind of it, you get everything in sports,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<p>The Olympian credited her mother as her biggest inspiration, instilling in her the importance of forging her own path. She acknowledged the crucial role parents and teachers play in shaping a child&#8217;s journey, particularly in the formative years of a sporting career.<br \/>Reflecting on her own experiences, Bhaker highlighted the personal growth she underwent during her eight-year journey, explaining, &#8220;I have had eight and a half years in my <!-- -->shooting<!-- --> career. I have travelled almost half of the world. I have seen different kinds of people and cultures, their backgrounds and struggles, and also known their journeys. We should never be ashamed of where we come from &#8212; the cultural background. <br \/>&#8220;You should carry it with pride, and you should be proud of yourself, how far you have come, and you have a long way to go. I never knew English, how to talk to people, and many other things I never knew. But, I taught myself. People helped me to learn different things. You can always approach a teacher or your parents to learn something new. You can always ask somebody to teach you.&#8221;<\/div>\n<p><script>\nvar _mfq = window._mfq || [];\n_mfq.push([\"setVariable\", \"toi_titan\", window.location.href]);\n!(function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    function loadFBEvents(isFBCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isFBCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        if (f.fbq) return;\n        n = f.fbq = function() {\n          n.callMethod ? n.callMethod(...arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n        };\n        if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n        n.push = n;\n        n.loaded = !0;\n        n.version = '2.0';\n        n.queue = [];\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js', n, t, s);\n      fbq('init', '593671331875494');\n      fbq('track', 'PageView');\n    };\n    function loadGtagEvents(isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n      if (!isGoogleCampaignActive) {\n        return;\n      }\n      var id = document.getElementById('toi-plus-google-campaign');\n      if (id) {\n        return;\n      }\n      (function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n        t = b.createElement(e);\n        t.async = !0;\n        t.defer = !0;\n        t.src = v;\n        t.id = 'toi-plus-google-campaign';\n        s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n        s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n      })(f, b, e, 'https:\/\/www.googletagmanager.com\/gtag\/js?id=AW-877820074', n, t, s);\n    };\n    function loadSurvicateJs(allowedSurvicateSections = []){\n      const section =  window.location.pathname.split('\/')[1]\n      const isHomePageAllowed = window.location.pathname === '\/' && allowedSurvicateSections.includes('homepage')\n      if(allowedSurvicateSections.includes(section) || isHomePageAllowed){\n        (function(w) {\n         function setAttributes() {\n                    var prime_user_status = window.isPrime ?
