Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, who on Friday surpassed West Indian Brian Lara's record of 11,953 Test runs, said he had converted challenges to success.
"People sometimes throw stones and you convert them into milestones," Tendulkar said after creating the new record.
"It is definitely the biggest achievement in 19 years of my career. It can't happen overnight. The journey has been fantastic with ups and downs. It was a process of success," he said.
"I wanted to shift the focus on cricket and not think of the record. But whoever I meet they keep on reminding me (of the record)."
Asked what he decided to do before coming to bat today, Tendulkar said, "I knew I need 15 runs to get past Lara's record. But I had decided to keep it simple, concentrate on just watching the ball."
