I know how to make stuff happen, how to create wealth, create jobs, create investment.
I know exactly what I want. Everything. Calm, peace, tranquility, freedom, fun, happiness. If I could make all that one word, I would - a many-syllabled word.
I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it's going to work or whether I'm going to fall flat on my face.

Gratitude is something you show in relation to others.
