She encouraged anyone, regardless of gender, to not only know about their strengths and weaknesses but also create a strong belief in themselves.
She said that this mindset needs to go hand in hand with great planning techniques to properly prioritize tasks.
She said,” I always think you need to work with individuals if you want to go fast and far at the same time.” ” As a person, we have a very strong feeling of empathy”.

Ms. Narumon exemplifies the power of endurance, resilience, and a positive mindset through her transition from a vocalist in the 1990s to a well-known business figure.
Her account serves as a motivating example for those trying to find their vocation, encouraging them to push themselves past their comfort zones, face challenges, and take advantage of the opportunities that exist.
