So have you read the books yet? They’re worth the time. This section is from Unscripted . I liked it a lot tonight and remembered your post.
“Email after email, someone messages me asking for critical, life-altering advice, as if I know the right answer: Do I quit my job and start a business? Should I quit the military after five years? Do I drop out of college? My wife is the ultimate Slowlaner; do I divorce her? Do I wipe my a$$ with my left or right hand? Let me get this straight… you want me, a stranger on the other side of the planet, to decide one of your most important life decisions based on a paragraph written in forty-five seconds? It’s ridiculous, and yet it happens daily.
...
We’re all perfectly imperfect. Including our heroes. While doing X, Y, and Z might have worked for Jobs, it might not work for YOU. Every one of us needs to stop hero-worshiping mortal beings and be our own heroes. Be a hero to your wife, to your family, and to your children. Stop trying to write your story with someone else’s pen and, instead, start using your own.”
Your family is important dude. Good luck.
