About This Quote

In the past, I had a boyfriend who told me it was foolish to have dreams of being successful. He said that I should just settle for being happy doing whatever I do. So, I took this advice and decided to move on. Now, I’m single and he’s married to someone else. That woman now has my dream job, but guess what? She doesn't have mine.
