As I was logging in to blogger this fine day, there was a link to a blog with daily pictures of men with 'staches. I thought of my brother, and his love for facial hair - and how he will sport the style because he likes it, disregarding the occasional smart remark (occassionally from myself :) ).
Such people are my heros - those who do what they love, even when it's not the "cool" thing to do. (Don't tell Matthew, though. We have to keep up appearances of our brother/sister rivalry.)
Shout out to my student: he is a senior in Econ, and decided to learn the oboe. He realizes that he's a beginner, but that doesn't bug him one bit. When I was a beginner with my Chem class, I gave up. I admit that. Good job him.
There are the obvious heroes - those who are in the arts, or academia. The careers that will not be so lucrative, but they have a passion for, and as such choose not to live without the thing which they love.
There are also the not so obvious heroes - Who says that someone in accounting is only there for the money. They may truly love working with numbers.
In summary, this is to all you who do what you love, and love what you do. Congratulations. You have succeeded. (And may you find a job that fufills your need!)
signing off.
