For all the "odds are not in your favor" guys, yeah I guess that's a concern if you consider yourself average or even below average. If you refuse to accept mediocre and push yourself to success, you can make just about anything work. Do you know how many people said that screenwriting doesn't pay, or odds are against you? And yet here I am, finally making it onto IMDB, after writing 12 feature length screenplays, 2 novels, and multiple shorts- with 3 screenplays under contract.

You can if you believe you can. If you believe everyone else's fear of failure, you won't win at anything.

Critical business (day job) so still working. Pick something that has relevance.

No one cares in a time of crisis if you sell $400 shoes.

Fight for every single goal you have. Don't let anyone talk you out of them for any reason.

But don't be an a-hole.

Toxic people are toxic. If you have someone that CONSTANTLY needs you to help them or pay attention to them or they continuously have problems/issues, those are red flags. Don't assume it is you. But don't assume it's not you. Both responses are a ditch on either side of the same road. Make an effort to talk. Talk means speak AND listen. Don't just talk. Don't NOT talk. If you can't talk, think about moving along. Maybe they aren't ready, maybe you aren't.

That is all.

Identify the goal. Calculate the cost.
Expect its going to cost you more than that.

If she is the kind of person that can be attracted by money, and kept interested by money, you don't want her anyway. I don't care how hot she is. Yeah it's important to be able to live, but people are more important than money.

Watch this space for an extended treatment of the differences between males and females about sex. People have been asking for something. I am preparing a long discussion on the issue. Please feel free to post things you would like to see addressed.

People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of right.

Know your goals.
Know who they are.
Stay away.

Read Harrison Bergeron, a dystopian science-fiction short story by American writer Kurt Vonnegut.

First line: "The year was 2081, and everyone was finally all equal."

You're welcome.

It’s because everyone has to go through ups and downs and experience it for themselves. That’s how you learn.

And for post 1500 in this thread- never quit.
Decide what is important, and never quit.
Never.

Still working on screenwriting/novel success at age 58.
Had some gains. Won't quit.

She may just be the one. Don't let her go.
