Perhaps this is due to too much bourbon, I don't know. I've been in IT For 13 years and I just do not have a passion for it. I really want to be a part of something, to count you know what I mean? It's never been about money to me it's about a legacy. I do not want to leave this world being a cog in a machine, I want to help people and have the ability to provide for my family. Tonight, I've thought about it all, life careers and such and feel lost in a big world. I want to matter, I want my name to be more than someone who knew how to trouble shoot network issues. I've grown to over this forum, the people here are great. Just felt the need to vent. Carry on :)

First, have we met? Second, being remembered by those close to you is better than being remembered by a lot. It doesn't take much to change people's lives.

The kids I tutored when I first moved here are in their senior year. And I wasn't getting the smart kids who had occasional questions but I was getting kids who were failing algebra. The eight I was tutoring when I first got here haven't emailed me in almost a year except to tell me they're doing great on their own. All it took was 3-6 hours a week.

Perhaps you should read more about Buddha's life to understand what I mean

I'll just say this: you only live once. Regret is one of the worst things you can experience. I was wasting away in Charlotte not too long ago and I knew if I didn't change something, my life would get worse. So I first took a six-week road trip around the US. Best thing I've ever done. Then, I packed my bags and moved to a city that my whole entire life I've loved and always felt I belonged in. Now I'm here and am very happy.

 

Think about that guy in Nowheresville, Iowa. He works in a factory. He's done it for 20 years and will do it for 20 more. He has a family he loves, he takes vacations. But his ENTIRE life is that job, in that small, remote town. When he's nearing the end of his life, what will he look back on? Family, wonderful. Vacations, very fun. A factory job ... meh. That's it. That's his life. Done. Over.

 

If you want more out of life ... TAKE IT. The more time you spend thinking about it, the more time passes by. If you want to look back on your life when you're old and grey and smile as wide as ever ... you better have something to smile about. SOME people can be happy with that factory job, this is true. I say, good for them. But it sounds like you want more from your life.

 

Make it happen.

I feel the same exact way, been dealing with IT since 98, started back in the military. Everything is boring now, i too have no passion for IT anymore. I could do so much more but Im stuck in the same routine everyday.

Was in the same position a few years ago... I have always wanted to teach high school and coach at the high school level. I went back to school, finished my degree and am currently student teaching. I love it! Got a call on Thursday and interview for an opening at A high school tomorrow morning!

I am 45 years old and am living proof that it is never to late to make a change brother!

This. You want something? Go get it. Make a plan and put it into motion. I got out of Maine because even though I love the place, I wanted something more for myself and there is so much to else to see. Went out of state for college, went to California for graduate school, lived in Germany and France in between, and now I live in New York City working for a dream company just trying to get where I want to be for the long haul. Don't be afraid to reach out to executives at random, send letters and make phone calls even if there is a slim chance it actually develops into anything.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By CRA · Posted

      well, players dictating things only works if you have the right collection of players to dictate things.  and in all honesty, not sure if we can answer if we do or don't as fans given......there are no Thomas Davis types around that we know are actually about X and Y (based on years showing it).  Collective team is too new to us to know what these dudes are really about in terms of players carrying the burden of culture.

      Moore can be put in one of the vet spots on IR. No one will be checking for him at the start of the season. But I would be very perturbed if we tried to go all Gettlemagic and stash an obvious talent like Horn on practice squad like we did Butker. If we can get through this year, next year it will be obvious Moore and AT will be gone, starting namely with AT's contract.

      Culture change comes from the top down, not from drafting a 3 and no D guard. I doubt Lamelo is gonna take his cues from this 20yr old kid lol. If Brandon Miller couldn’t change the culture with how good he is and how much he hustles on both ends, Kon Knueppel sure as hell ain’t changing it. Ace Bailey by all accounts is also a great teammate and hard worker, btw, who was drafted by a team he supposedly didn’t want to go to yet he immediately bought in. And he’s got actual length and tools on both ends of the floor. I feel this pick is going to age like milk rather quickly.
