I was a happy little PPL(A), with no plans to learn anything else new or get a new career. I just decided to go for a trial helicopter lesson for something different to do, and I said to all my friends that it was lucky it was so expensive, because it meant that even if I liked it I'd never dream of taking it up. But on my TL, as soon as I managed to hover with all three controls, that was it. That 35 seconds (my instructor was timing it) had me hooked and changed my life.
