Quote

I wanted to acquire an education, work extremely hard and never deviate from my goal, to make it.

I had a very strong desire to be successful at something.

It wasn't poverty that drove me on.

I had no ambition to make a fortune. Mere money-making has never been my goal, I had an ambition to build.

I wanted to be successful, not famous.

Because I was poor I had one special advantage. When you are poor, and basic survival is your concern, you have no alternative but to be an entrepreneur. You must take action to survive just as you must take action to seize an opportunity.

I was just a regular kid in poverty, struggling.

I really wanted to work and become independent.

I never planned to be rich, frankly speaking. I was more interested in being free, and doing things. And money helps. But otherwise I was never that interested in it.
