Golden quadrilateral

Prime Minister Narendra Modi: On the occasion of International Women's Day, five-time Guinness World Record holder and one of India’s most inspiring endurance athletes Sufiya Sufi shared how women can achieve anything they desire by breaking free from the shell they've built within themselves and cultivating a "passion and craziness" for their goals.

'Kaun kehta hai aasma mei surakh nahi ho sakta, ek patthar to tabiyat se uchhalo yaaron', this famous line was brought to life by Sufiya, as she quit her well-established job in aviation to become a world-class endurance runner.

"When you have a passion to do something, that passion makes you do a lot of things. At that time, you don't think about the challenges and hurdles; all that matters is reaching the target you've set. Passion and craziness for your goal are very important. No matter which field you're in, you should have that level of obsession to achieve it," Sufiya told IANS in an exclusive interaction.
