Beyonce Is Always Driven To Be The Best

Beyonce is one of the most hardworking woman in show business. Her motivation is to do everything on a larger-than-life scale because one day she'll be able to look back and be proud of what she did in her youth.

"Fifteen years from now, I want to be able to look back and say,
'Wow. That's where I was at 27,'" she tells me. "'That was my best.'" 

Beyonce is so obsessive about making every detail of her tour perfect that her mom, Tina, has to accompany her to make sure she doesn't overwork herself!

"She stays up late reviewing tapes, studying them to make it better.
It's hard for me—it's one of the reasons I go on tour. I'm always the
person to make her go to bed. I'm still her mother, so I can walk up
and close the computer and tell her to go to bed."

When Beyoncé was 15 and on the verge of breaking out with Destiny's
Child, Tina took the girls to see Janet Jackson. "The others were like,
'That was great,'" Tina remembers, "but Beyoncé was already pulling it
apart, trying to figure out what made it good. She said, 'One day I
want to have a concert like that.'" 

I really admire Beyonce for how driven she is! It's amazing how far she's come since Destiny's Child. Just goes to show that a lot of talent and a little hard work go a long way. :)
