Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

Entrepreneurship.
I admire those who choose to live their dreams and go beyond their means to achieve it. I believe that once the mind is expanded, it can never contract back to its original state. Once an idea is planted, it can only grow and take shape into a manifestation - no matter the medium.
It’s easy to respect musicians, business people, creative artists etc. because they choose to live life off their talents and skills in their respective industries. Progression in the economies of the world thrive on entities being innovative and daring while showing great passion for their productivity. I think it’s safe to say that being an entrepreneur is exemplary in the very meaning of living life to the fullest.
“Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.” - Jim Rohn
If you could take 40 years of your would-be working 9-5 job/career and squeeze all the trials and tribulations, disappointment, fear, anger and temporary circumstances into 2-4 years of character building, mentally exhaustive, blood, sweat and tears for the success that follows after, would you do it?
