Thanks for the story. I firmly believe that know mater what the circumstances if you want something bad enough and are prepared to make the sacrifice you will achieve your goal.

You have a beautiful mind and this post is really thoughtful.

I am the guy who battled health and had to leave my beloved office. Walking the same path right now only a bit left behind :)

I’ve been through my own share of troubles, as have any of us, and this really hit home that some of the top people I look up to have gone through similar or equally devastating phases in their life, and used that hurt to get to where they are today.

Although I think I’ve been through the worst of my troubles (I’m at a financial crisis right now), I think I’m pulling through and I am starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m still just starting though, so who know’s where it’ll take me!

I’m 14 and always trying to learn more about web development and design. The best part is that I became interested in HTML through Neopets. Yeah. Everything I do right now is like an experiment, so I get to figure out more and more. And my mom wants me going to MIT. Yikes.

“As ironic as it may sound, I believe that the hardest days in your life or career are often the most helpful and useful ones.”

This is *so* very true …. recently made redundant, now working at an absolutely fantastic company! And I’d been really worried about finding work in this recession. Couldn’t have worked out better.

Great article. Same here. I moved to Finland and didn’t speak the language. During a year I sent out over 50 applications but nothing came of it. So I decided to start for myself. Eight years later I am so happy I did because I have created my own future and became successful at it.

I am reading this article at the perfect time!
Right now at this moment I am sooo broken, helpless and lost bcoz,

1. I do not have a JOB since May & 2. I was in relationship for 5 yrs…and we just broke-up(The reason was that guy can not marry me bcoz of my my STUDENT LOAN and he got afraid of the economy) :(

So u guys can imagine my situation. I really hate living this life. But after reading this inspiring article, I really feel like “Yes, I can survive and I will”.

And now believe me, I really know, what do I want to do in my life…
I guess everyone comes to this phase when they have lost something important in their life…for me that is my LOVE…And I still believe in LOVE…”It’s better late than Never”…ryt?

I will not QUIT fighting to get a JOB in this tough Economy. I absolutely love to create Killer ADs…and as Fabio said “Do it than Wondering” And I am sure there is a light at the end of the Tunnel…

no matter how bad things look, there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
* Family is everything
* Being an honorable person and conducting your life in an honorable fashion is one of life’s greatest rewards
* You can never worry about the future, today is what matters
* Passion and purpose is everything; if you have passion and purpose in your life you will never be lonely
* “He who is afraid of making mistakes, is afraid to succeed”

This is what i was looking for!
Thank you so much!
Truly inspiring!
