But having said that, I was perfectly fine.
There was plenty left over.
And I do believe, I really passionately believe this, that life is very short.
it's ridiculously short that it's over in the blink of an eye and if you can I agree with you to me success is not financial either success is getting to do what you enjoy and that fulfills you if you get to spend your life doing that
Or alternatively, you work all the hours God sends because you can't walk away from it because you love it so much.

You know, I always looked at... Who I admired most, you know, people say, who did you look up to?
Who would you like to be?
When I was young and I was first used to go, probably like you would have gone into Cork, I would go into Dublin as a teenager and you'd wander around the city.

herbologist, philosopher, poet, author, philanthropist and all this.
And I used to look at that and go, I want that.
I want to be able to sample all the things in life that interest me and squish them into my life.
And that was why I wanted those things.

I also do think that, and I know you have this too, most people agonize over things like career changes.
