I always loved this one: "Jonathan, getting annoyed by me! “

Edit: I love the Internet, here is the exact quote/clip. It's "Jonathan, getting frustrated by me."

plane was perpindicular to the runway, the pilot used differential engine power to straighten it out.

well then your bills are overwhelming your income. It's not that hard to get in that situation, the trick is getting out. You want to be able to "just try something" then you take that vision and start working towards it. First it means you have to figure out how to give yourself the expendable income and time. Second it means that you have to be willing to work on your day off. You worked 10 hours one day? Great, that leaves 6 waking hours for progress. Got an excuse for why you can't use those 6 hours? Then you're not cut out for this lifestyle.

I work 110 hours a week currently, 50 as an electrical engineer and 60 on my own company. It was brutal at first, and there are still low points where I just don't feel like I have it in me to do what needs doing. But, as I walk this appalachian trail of bullshit sometimes the most important thing is just picking up that foot and moving in front of the other one. One step, then another, no matter how tired, no matter how much the suck has settled into your bones... if you do that repeatedly, over time set up your life to give you more options, and pursue your passion.. then one day you just might find that you're in a position to seize an opportunity. It's a long term plan. I first realized I wasn't made for the traditional path 4 years ago. I was saddled with debt, tied down, and miserable. I plotted a path out and 4 years later it worked. I'm still busier than anyone that I know, but I'm also on the verge of a lot of exciting things. /coolstorybro
