I want to build something that I can be proud of. I want to prove to myself after years of watching other people succeed, that I too can create something meaningful.

I want to be able to dictate my own schedule. I can't see myself being happy any other way.

Oh, and I want to be rich. I've always thought...if other people can do it, why can't I? I don't want to have to worry about money like I did growing up, and I want to be able to one day invest to help other people make their dreams a reality.

All is good but do not aim for 'rich', prefer 'well off'. Because rich is temporary.
