I wish I had been more prepared, both for success and for failure, when I was younger.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was hoping I could become a success to give my mother and my father a better way of living.
I had a very strong desire to be successful at something.
I wish I had been wiser. I wish I had been more effective, I wish I'd been more unifying, I wish I'd been more principled.
And I always found that the harder I worked, the better my luck was, because I was prepared for that.
I've always had to have some kind of failure before I was successful.
I am consumed with the fear of failing. Reaching deep down and finding confidence has made all my dreams come true.
In my forties, my optimism was boundless. I had really good health and tremendous success which allowed me to do anything I wanted.
I never felt I was incapable of succeeding because I felt confident I could always learn what I needed to know.
I wasn't afraid to fail. Something good always comes out of failure.
I am far more comfortable with failure than I ever will be with success.
