I've always wanted to live above my means because it inspired me to work harder.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have always lived beyond my means. I am still trying to live beyond my means, but it is getting harder all the time. I am very rich.
All I ever intended was to make a living at what I do. Everything I've achieved since then is above and beyond.
What inspired me to work so hard and to maintain my determination was seeing my mother. She was an immigrant and was struggling in America to make it by; that inspired me to work hard.
My goal has always been to try to live up to every ounce of my potential. For me, that means working with the best people and working with the best material.
I wanted more control of my life. I wanted work to fit in, not to dominate; to support, not to lead the pattern of my life.
There's nothing like living a little close to the edge that gets you motivated to ensure that you get the credentials you need to succeed.
My interest in life comes from setting myself huge, apparently unachievable challenges and trying to rise above them.
I've always wanted to play a role in inspiring people to be better, to live higher quality lives and to feel good about the way that they look and feel.
I wanted to keep working because work was essentially fantastic - you got to be around people, you got to be in a family, and that family changed from job to job. It was like being in the circus.
I've always been too hard on myself to behave like I've arrived or even to enjoy whatever success I've had. I've always envisioned myself higher than where I was and I still do. With each success I think, 'That's nice but I'm supposed to go there!'
