I think all of us, as teenagers, have a dream to be something we will probably never reach. I'm sure that when you tell someone this dream, they will laugh at you and tell you its just never going to happen and you are wasting your time. But just think...how many of us will grow up to be professions that we actually preferred. Would you rather have a high paying job or a job that you enjoy? or both? For most of us, our parents will be sending us in a direction that they see best fit, like medical school or engineering or business. At this point in life, I wouldn't want to take any of those paths. I'd rather pursue my teenage dream of being a professional gamer. Ridiculous right? Nine years ago, people just like me had never even heard of such a term. They played games and played them well because it was something they loved to do. They ambitiously pursued such a dream that it eventually became a recognized profession. Obviously, the salary isn't going to be high as those of doctors, lawyers, or stock brokers, but how much money do we really need to really enjoy our life? Isn't that what we work for, happiness? Why not achieve happiness IN work? Money becomes only a side-effect. The other day, my friend and I were talking about professions. He wanted to be a geologist. Why? Because his millionaire step dad is a geologist. He seems to be pretty definite of this already, however I know and he knows that he doesn't really want to be a geologist at heart. Sometimes, the hunt for riches can deter our dreams to the point that we are lying to ourselves. And even though theres exists only a 1/mil chance of obtaining, wouldn't it be better to pursue one, than none at all?

"The mighty opponent most likely to defeat me is not the player sitting across from me. It's me. If I beat myself, give it my best I will not lose. My laziness is my most fearful enemy. Defeat is the acceptance of my own laziness. "
