You are correct. You, and I, do not have the desire, drive, and ambition to be that successful.

Desire, Drive, and Ambition. Three things that you choose to have. Those aren't given to you.

Your comment could lead into a whole discussion on one's values. Obviously, people who choose to become teachers are not likely to earn $30 million a year - even if those teachers do have the "desire, drive and ambition" to be the very best teacher possible.

I was always turned off by Jon Corzine's candidacy in NJ because here is what he did: (1) Divorced his wife; (2) Dumped his kids; (3) Then ran for NJ senator; (4) Paid a staggering sum of bucks for the seat of power he wanted; and all the while, (5) went around saying he identified SOOOO Much with the Little People.

Well, yes, he won the race, but I still think he doesn't know jack about how his wife or kids or others might think about certain issues. And, yes, people voted for him, but I would not have, for a variety of reasons.

If that's what you mean by "desire, drive and ambition" you're right - I do not have enough of "it."
