Summary

This quote humorously expresses the idea that simply desiring success and recognition is not enough. It suggests that it's important to have clear goals and be specific about the kind of person one wants to become.

It highlights the importance of setting specific targets and being intentional in pursuing one's dreams and aspirations.

You're almost in a haze because you don't really know where you are half the time: You're in a hotel room one moment, and the next thing you know, you're onstage performing for 60,000 people, then you're back on an airplane.
