‘What he did NOT do was whine and moan, “Woe is me, I don’t want to run this run down Savings and Loan, I want to be Amelia Earhart’s co-pilot, and if I can’t do that, I’m going to sit in the corner and suck my thumb.”
Maybe you were watching a different movie?
‘I’m shakin’ the dust of this crummy little town off my feet and I’m gonna see the world. Italy, Greece, the Parthenon, the Colosseum. Then, I’m comin’ back here to go to college and see what they know. And then I’m gonna build things. I’m gonna build airfields, I’m gonna build skyscrapers a hundred stories high, I’m gonna build bridges a mile long’
‘I couldn’t. I couldn’t face being cooped up for the rest of my life in a shabby little office’
But things didn’t work out the way he had planned.
For whatever reason.
My point is, he sucked it up and made a life with whatever he could scrape together.
You can too. But not with poor me navel gazing. Get off your duff and make something happen.
