But not me, I've always insisted that having a job and working for someone else is not the way to go.

I suppose this is a normal feeling though, and I truly believe that in the long run it will be for the best. But there is definitely truth to what Ted Turner said on this subject; "My son is now an "entrepreneur." That's what you're called when you don't have a job."

The dream still burns within me, no matter how hard I try to put it out. I tried to put it out for ten years by drinking a lot of alcohol…that didn't work. I don't drink any longer and the fire still burns, only now I realize how much time I wasted. I have to
