My father could have been a great Comedian but he didn’t believe that was possible for him. So he made a conservative choice. He took a safe job as an Accountant. When I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job. I learned many great lessons from my father… Least of which is that you can even fail at what you don’t want or love. So you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.
