Hi Mark,
Iīm just twenty years old, havenīt got a wife or kids to loose neither a house to pay the rent...BUT I can tell you one thing I know, and that is: WE ONLY LIVE ONCE!!!! And for a short time I may say.
I see my parents going to their works everydays to earn just enough money to pay their bills at the end of the month and I get sad...I imagine their dreams when they were my age and now look at them, waking everydays knowing their stupid works are waiting for them for the rest of their lifes!!
Thatīs not living, thatīs surviving!
Well I want to live, not to survive and thatīs what gives me strenght to leave my family, friends, and my country because of a dream, a dream of being a pilot!
If I donīt manage to be that at least my conscience will be in peace cause I know I tried to do what I wanted...
So Mark Iīm not saying you to do or not to do...Iīm just saying sometimes we have to follow our heart cause like I said we only live once!
Take care and good luck!
P.S. Iīm sorry if iīm wrong but Iīm only 20!
