A friend told me that one day he and I would be rich and famous. I told him that I'd trade my half of the fame, for his half of the money.

About This Quote

A friend told me that one day he and I would be rich and famous. I told him that I'd trade my half of the fame, for his half of the money. There are plenty of people out there who are willing to work hard to make their dreams come true. Some of them are willing to work their butts off to achieve success.

Others are willing to take on a lot of risk, even if it means they must fail. It takes a special kind of person to do both. It takes someone who knows that failure is part of success.

The person who thinks only in the present moment would never want to trade half his or her fame for money. After all, money is fleeting and fame fades quickly. A friend told me that one day he and I would be rich and famous.

I told him that I'd trade my half of the fame, for his half of the money. That’s what most people aspire to be or want to be so they can keep on chasing their dreams.
