Keeping that in mind, it makes me extremely conscience of the decisions I make and why I'm making them. If I had decided to attend college immediately after high school, I'd probably be a journalist at some high profile newspaper. Just think of everything that would be different if that was the case. I can name hundreds of people I would have never met. Hundreds of Aggies and locals here in Greensboro.

And as I venture into the entreprenuerial world, I am even more keen about the decisions I make. Being that I sacrificed my collegiate career for the business world, I have a lot of nay-sayers and nonbelievers in what I'm doing. The pressure builds with every decision I make to be successful and prevent myself from looking like an idiot.

One of my biggest fears in life is not finding the right combination of decisions to fully take advantage of my potential. I hear everyday people talk about how successful they just know I'm going to be. The status quo rises everyday; the expectations increase everyday; the definition of success continues to climb everyday.

But just as I fear this race against time, I must admit I do not think there is anyone out there who can handle it better than me or anyone who can exceed expectations like me. But most of all, I do not think there is anyone out there who can do it as fast with as little as me.

I used to just want to be a writer. Key word being just. I'm a writer, but my ambition keeps me much too busy to just be a writer. I wanted to just do graphics and layout. I wanted to just create. I still do. I help others create as well. Then I wanted to just make millions. Millions of pesos, millions of yen, millions of deustchmarks and liras. But money isn't everything.

What is it that I really want to do in life? What motivates me and moves me and drives me?

I want to show the world, I can do anything. I want to show those who counted me out because I left college that I'm going to be multiple times more wealthy than the average millionaire without the degree. I want to show I can make miracles without following traditional myths of attaining success.

I want to show that just because my decisions are non-traditional, non-conventional and at times, non-sensical, I can beat back what fate has slated for me and control my own destiny. I'm no idiot just because I don't say yes when the handbook to life says to say yes.

The only idiots out there are the ones who think they can make those superficial cliche decisions in life and fate is going to take care of the rest.
