About This Quote

Do you want to live your life in the fast lane that your parents created? Do you want to live for the moment without thinking about tomorrow or how you will make it? Do you want to take risks because you can or because you enjoy it? This quote not only describes the type of person who would never have a career, but also explains what kind of person would have a career. A person who wants a career is not someone driven by fear. Instead, they are driven by their own passion and are willing to face failure for the chance at success.
