RE: Rich Dad Poor Dad Book Club (Chapter 6 Part 2)
Much like entrepreneurship, being a professional athlete takes a lot of work and a certain amount of risk. It isn’t an easy decision for a lot of us to make, especially few when finances are tight. And a lot of times, really, self doubt is what pushes us into conventional jobs. I wonder if your friend doubted his chances of success.
He mustve had some doubt.. Not about his success mayb.. mayb it was about the ammount of time he would need to get there...he had to support his family.. he had an extended family and had to support his parents as they were elderly.. that mustve influenced his decision..
That’s huge. That a lot of pressure. And if he had missed or failed in soccer, what would he have done? I wonder.
In my part of land our elders judge someone with their job and it determines their place in the society...the more stable job you have the more respect you would get... On that basis sports are taken as a vagabonds job...he had a girlfriend and her parents said the exact same thing to him which i just said.... But it also takes a certain ammount of passion to pursue what you want..without that no matter how much talented one is cant shine..
Very true!
