What seems whimsical may be. But it takes discipline to stay any course over time, even a whimsical one. At an early age, I concluded that most people were unhappy. They spoke longingly about how great things were going to be when they retired. They sacrificed everything for a job that didn't matter and a boss who didn't care. They spent what little energy remained on unappreciative kids who would eventually grow into clones of themselves. Once they retired, they were too unhealthy to pursue all the dreams they once spoke so passionately about. I swore I would never follow in their footsteps. If happiness was worth achieving, I would pursue it on my own terms. - Mark Renz
