I've always been too hard on myself to behave like I've arrived or even to enjoy whatever success I've had. I've always envisioned myself higher than where I was and I still do. With each success I think, 'That's nice but I'm supposed to go there!'

  • -- Nicole Scherzinger 尼科尔·谢辛格

我总是对自己太苛刻,以至于不能表现得像我已经成功了一样,甚至不能享受我所取得的任何成功。我总是把自己想象得比现在更高,现在依然如此。每次成功的时候,我都会想,‘这很好,但我应该去那里!’
