About This Quote
The rich dream all their lives of losing weight and looking like the poor. You need to dream big dreams in life or you are bound to be unsatisfied. The society has made it so that the only way people can get ahead is by wanting to get ahead. If you are not constantly looking for something better, you will not find it.
