I feel like I delivered a blow, an unfortunate blow to a profession that not only did I personally love doing but that I value for society.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have the satisfaction of knowing I did something useful for society.
What drives me is I love my profession. I love to do it.
It is just that all my life I have been so involved in my work that I guess one could say in general that, whenever I had to balance my private life and my profession, my profession always won out.
I love my work, and I think that I was so lucky to pick a profession where it's a joy to go to work every day.
I have a lot of respect for what I do, for this profession.
So I had to be careful. I recognized the responsibility that, whether I liked it or not, I had to accept whatever the obligation was. That was to behave in a manner, to carry myself in such a professional way, as if there ever is a reflection, it's a positive one.
I treat my career like it just happened yesterday.
Career is too pompous a word. It was a job, and I have always felt privileged to be paid for what I love doing.
I get enormous satisfaction from knowing I'm doing something for society.
I don't have any shame about the way I conducted my professional life.
