I disagree. I would much rather a person set out and do whatever it is that makes them happy than push themselves into something that would make them miserable.Originally Posted by GIXXERDK
I scored rediculously high on my ASVAB when I joined the military. My recruiter thought I would go Intelligence, but I joined Infantry. Why? Because I knew that I'd be miserable behind a desk all day. I was much happier in the field with my rifle, preparing for combat, sleeping in the dirt, and eating terrible food with my battle-buddies.
People have this great expectation of those whom they deemed gifted or talented. I think it's sad that these individuals will let others influence them into doing something that they truly don't want to do. F*ck those people and their expectations. I could have the skills and talent to be a great politician but, if I find my life more enjoyable as the guy riding the back of the garbage truck, guess what I'm going to do?
You see people wasting talent. I see people doing what they want to do so they can enjoy their lives the way that they want to.
