I am with you 100%, I live in Spain remember. Voice over in Spanish 99%. The last 1% is a live broadcast with news events where the translator did not have time to make a script.
It makes sense, and it is something that has become more true to me with the years.
I was yesterday contemplating choices I made in life that brought me here where I am and where I could have done different.
To have done different I need to first see why I did the choices I did. I am not talking of pure chance things, but real choices, when you set your target.
I did not do this before I was 24, and then I had friends with their aim already set since ten years.
My first objection to conformity was throwing my tie. If you work in an environment where this is a part of the dress code more important than your actual knowledge you would know what a giant leap forward this was for me.
I have become a person that studies what goes on around me more today than ever before and I make choices based on what I see to lead me in a planned direction.
I think the people mentioned in the second paragraph already had this in them at an early stage and it took them far - not in personal success but in control of their life. I envy them and my friends that did the same, for the years ahead of me they have reached when I was still just hunting skirts.
RE: I Would Like so Much Thread
Or as they sing, a wonder.Yes, I felt like that yesterday, I was digging deep in memories to try to see if there was something I missed and needed to revisit and learn from it.
Well, there is, and I wished I could go back and mend things. Since I can not, it is good to at least have someone sing the thoughts out loud.
