“” -Charlie Chaplin
& “” - Mr. Bean Those two made us laugh without uttering a single word. Letting your work speak for you and making people laugh are two remarkable things. (You still have to take credit for your work though and credit other people for their work while you’re at it). I am not sure I have a passion, I feel like it implies consistency in being interested in something and I am only interested in what is in front of me today (it’s ok not to have a passion and just wanting to do good in wherever life puts you). They change every now and then, like now I have a special interest in learning how to rap (don’t hold your breath for a single, it’s never coming). Every skill can be used to produce money; however you have to be prepared that it’s not going to be as fun as you think. I plan to hire/train/mentor as many creative and hard working women as I can and pay them a lot of money so they can work in fields they actually like. (Will I be able to do that in this economy? This is a question I fear to answer).
