Oh yes, I was always on a mission, had dreams I wanted to come true. And I worked hard so they did. I worked my *ss of. Seriously. I always dreamed of working in the theatre, well I did that (I even starten my own theatre company at age 24), then I wanted to work in the fashion industry, did that too. I started as someone who had to iron the new shirts and I worked my way up to the design department in two years time. Then I was ready for my next challenge: advertising. At age 29 I was already an international award winning copywriter.

There's nothing wrong with having dreams (that most people would think of as impossible), but there's something wrong with running away from responsabilities. I didn't ran away when things were tough, on the contrary. It kept me motivated.
