To All The Naysayers

Good for you Hobbypassion21.

My advice to young people is find something you are passionate about and become better than 90% of those that do it. Money shouldn't be your driving force but in any field if you become elite you can be paid for it.

If you love what you do you will never "work" a day in your life.

I coached swimming for 30 years before starting driving. Early in my career I had a high school kid tell me he was going to quit my team to focus on skateboarding. This kid was a good athlete and could have had college paid for through swimming.

I gave him hell but in the end just told him to be the best skateboarder he could be. I admit I thought he was just going to hang out with friends and get into trouble.

8 years later I saw him on ESPN's X games. He followed a dream and was making 6 figures in his 20's. Focus, determination and positive thinking can get you anything in life. The sky is the limit.

Too many shoot themselves in the foot with negativity before they ever get started. For them its always someone elses fault

 

Just about any big city I will usually sleep 50-60 miles outside of it and try to get in and get out without actually staying there. I like the country truck stops.
