Although Cuban built a tech company that would finally make him extremely rich, he never showed off that. "I never, ever thought about 1 ," he said. Instead, Cuban said his drive was something else 2 . He said, "I always think about time. That's always been my driving force. How can I control my own 3 ?"
At the beginning, when Cuban sold his first company for 6 million dollars, he never thought he'd have to 4 again. It made him so 5 . He saved most of his 6 so he could live freely without worrying about future job. When he did 7 , he spent on traveling with friends and family.
Five years later, the stock (股票) he had was highly 8 at the time. However, he hadn't 9 most of his stock just months before the bubble (泡沫) 10 , and then the share (股份) price dropped quickly. "It taught me a 11 : When you just go after money, it never 12 well," Cuban said. "However, if you value time, it can work out quite well. The most valuable fortune we can 13 is our time. The only thing we can do is 14 time and make full use of it. In that case, we can get amazing results."
I couldn't agree more with Cuban's views. A person's life is short. We should make the best use of time to do meaningful things, so that we won't 15 a thing before death.
