I wanted to acquire an education, work extremely hard and never deviate from my goal, to make it.

The speaker frames “making it” as the product of deliberate self-fashioning: education as the tool, relentless labor as the method, and unwavering focus as the discipline. The triad suggests a classic narrative of upward striving—success is not luck or patronage but an earned outcome secured by sustained effort and refusal to be diverted. The phrasing also implies a life lived under pressure (internal or external) to prove oneself, with “never deviate” hinting at sacrifice: alternative paths, pleasures, or doubts are subordinated to a single aim. As a statement, it functions as both personal credo and motivational template for ambition.
