I found that I let it stop me from getting that good job, finishing school and military which I needed since my brain needed that structure in my life. Now the wife stays on my ass constant to keep my straight which I'm thankful. Now I spend what time my hands have left learning and playing the blues.
I've always been driven to succeed, to be as close to the top as I can. I like being able to look back at my life and my accomplishments. They make me feel good.
Yeah never had that for me accomplishments are being right with Jesus firstly my raising my kids properly then loving my wife. I grew up so small never wanted success never wanted alot it always seemed to me it would cost alot to get it
I'm still just as driven as I've always been - but driven to different things. I love looking back at accomplishments and being able to say, "Well, I'm one of just a few people to ever experience that."
Most recently, I became an official Lubuntu (and Ubuntu) member - meaning that you could actually email me at an .com or .me email address. Not too many folks get to make that claim. It's quite an honor to be recognized for my contributions and considered one of the best there is with what I do for them.
