life should of came with a manual



Lately, I've been thinking about my future and visualizing what it would look like. A lot of people believe that I should go into some kind of art career. I don't think I have the capability to be sucessful in that. So I thought "hey maybe I should look into business and see what it offers." When I was down at San Fran visiting my relatives a few years ago, we talked about me and my future and what would make me happy. They said "screw following your heart, what would really make you happy is money." They have a point, but money can only go so far. I had a talk with an older friend earlier this week and he thought I'd be going to an art school taking art classes and all that mumbo jumbo. He was surprised that I was taking business because it's completely opposite from art. Then he lectured me about how following your heart will make you happy. He mentioned people like Passion, actors, and celebrities. Then he showed me a video about this professor who is diagnosed with I think several tumors? And this man, Randy Pausch, talks about following your childhood dreams. It's over an hour long video but it was truely moving and life changing. He tells us to achieve our careers and personal goals in life. So now I am questioning my future. I really can't see my self happy working a dead end job for the rest of my life. But I can't see my self in the arts field. What I really want is to own a company and manage it. A company that relates to art and culture and what nots. I know it sounds a little unorganized but I'm hoping my future will smooth out like peanut butter on toast bread. I'll be going to school in a few weeks and I hope that everything will turn out alright. I'm sad that I won't be able to see my friends at school like I used to but hopefully I can see them along the way. So to end my blog, I wanted to show the video. I know it's long but it's worth it. What are you doing anyways? You're just like me, home everyday on the computer doing nothing. Haha, no just joking. Anyways here it is.
