I'm the Bjorn Boerg of table tennis.

Don't buy this 'believe in yourself' rubbish. Why do they keep telling youngsters that? There's no point believing in yourself if you don't know what you're doing.

Women were gravitating towards him from all directions like a planetary orbit.

Needs must when the devil drives

Happiness is not in things it is in you.
