I fully respect that and I fully understand that. I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth...as a matter of fact I was born with a rusty fork up my arse...I had to pull it out before even starting on an even level with average joe.
When I finished school I worked for the minimum wage...did internships virtually for free...etc. At the time I was happy as larry doing a pub crawl with 20 pounds and 10 pubs later (2pounds a pint) I am wasted and snogging another student/intern/young professional in same situation as me....but off course, I am 35 now, things are different and the hard work meant I moved forward in life.
that's awesome and I must congratulate you! Because there are guys in my gym your age and older who at times complain about having back problems and knee problems because they have to work 10 hours a day sometimes doing reconstruction in buildings or whatever, or just other simple feats. Complaining how it affects their training and don't have time to eat as much as they should to be motivated in the gym. And taking care of kids for some as well.
I go along with them like yeah yeah I understand it's rough sometimes, but at the back of my head I'm telling them that you had a choice long ago to do stuff differently and now you're stuck and you talk the same shit to me every time we see as if it's essential.
I'm 27 my self and still doing a manual laughbor job, and I don't like it, but I face the music. I was very spoon fed as a kid and never had a reason to push the envelop so this is the result, lazy. But luckily for me I'm not retarded at least so I can acknowledge that life is not all grey and purple, every day I wake up I have a choice to do stuff differently and it's my call, nobody elses. I'm also lucky to have no kids at the moment and I plan not making them any time soon neither because my life right now is 'meh', but I'm starting to look as far as the sky goes.
And I never hate on people who do big things. People who are successful are looked upon like diamonds, only looking for the minor errors in them, but they're still diamonds.
So good for you and keep your head up high
