I was at home then in the world of figures, but not in that of values.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Your true value depends entirely on what you are compared with.
I didn't really care about sales figures. I just wanted to get things off my chest.
There were times when I had maybe a couple of hundred dollars, and times I made myself think I was on top of the world.
I was in Washington, D.C., on the morning show, by the time I was 18, programming a station by 19, No. 1 in the mornings. I think I was making, I don't know, a quarter of a million dollars by the time I was 25.
I lived at home till I was 29.
One of the stated values at IronPort was 'work/life balance,' but I wasn't living it. I was rarely home. And when I was home, well, let's just say I wasn't particularly helpful or cheery.
I don't think I'd live in London unless you paid me. Nine figures would be nice.
I was rather foolish in saying that I did not like arithmetic and to learn figures when I did - I was not thinking quite what I was about. The sums can be done better, if I tried, than they are.
As a kid, I was just a kid. Average.
I had worked my whole life. Until I became a mother, that's the only way I measured my value.
