It's the age old question, the one right after the fucking chicken and the fucking egg. It's the question I ask myself a version of everyday.
Everyone who makes it in life, not just people at the top but at different echelons of making it, seem to have a combo of 3 things, talent, an iron drive, and luck. To have a drive, I feel most of the time that you have to believe things are possible. You have to push to get them.
Now I always knew I could only amount to a scared girl that is unsure about her potential and that waits around for someone smarter to tell her what to do so she can be alright.
But then I grew up. Life gave me my first son, and I say life because he was planned against and I got him anyway, and then I had a husband who's a very nice man who absolutely cannot be counted on for financial support or understanding of the arts, and then 2 more kids to count on me.
And during this my little phone answering career gave me an idea of how the world works. I figured out I had ethics, I had smarts and a sense of logic that a lot of people don't have and I can lead where I was convinced I was a perpetual follower.
Now, how did this lead me to comedian school? It's a long story.
I just want to know if people can sort of grow ambition later on? Because I sort of feel a little tickling in my brain that seems to have the potential to be ambition. Can we come out of our cocoon something completely different, or do we, even though we evolve, always follow some sort of logical path?
More on this convoluted mess later. When a baby is not crying.
i believe ambition comes later... hell, i know what that's about. Mine only came a few years ago, like a big marvellous ticking bomb surprise- like, HEY! you've just wasted ten years of your life... you gonna waste 10 more?
RépondreEffacerour parents didn't have ambition for us, but we are finally learning that we have to grow some ourselves, or else we are doomed to poverty and unhappiness:) yippee!
