"If you hear a voice within
you say, 'You cannot paint,' then by all means paint and that voice will be
silenced.” -Vincent Van Gogh
I once stopped over at a friend
of a friend’s house. We’d just finished a camping trip and on the last night we
both got invited over for drinks. Among the many weird and wonderful
conversations that we had; one of them got me talking to him about my future.
And of course, the ultimate question that he asked is what I want to do in my
life. Inevitably we got into an argument that I’d never amount to anything if I
continued to pursue my current career path. We didn’t exactly figure out a strategy,
but deep down I think he was trying to use reverse psychology to get me to prove
him wrong. Unfortunately, it hasn’t happened yet, but I like to think that I will.
I’ve just got to get on with it so that I can go back to him and rub my success
in his face.
