It's very clear the path that most people take in America.
1. Go to college have fun (it's going to be the peak of excitement in your existence) and get good grades.
2. Get a high paying job and then take your bosses job.
3. find a wife.
4. buy a red sports car when it all seems to be falling apart.
5. Have kids and start all over again.
Or ... Choose to go on your own path. Find out what makes you truly happy. Surround yourself by people who love and encourage you. Test and enjoy the limits of life. Help others and bring value to the world. Fight for what you believe in. Live and be remembered forever. Take the road less traveled.
