And my question for you is DO YOU?

This has always been one of my favourite quotes. While it is often tempting to take the route which gives you the highest chance of security and financial success, it is not always the course of action which will make you the most happy as an individual. Having a career that you find stimulating and work that challenges you is, in my opinion, an important part of living a happy life.
I think a good example of the truth in what Roosevelt was saying is Bill Gates. Clearly an intelligent young man, Gates dropped out of Harvard to pursue his dreams in computers. Since then the public perception of Gates has steadily changed over the years. He has gone from being regarded as a brilliant, young computer genius, to a powerful and shrewd businessman of questionable ethics, to a kind and quietly charming philanthropist. I think it is safe to say that a great deal of his success, both personally and financially, can be attributed to his belief in the beauty of his dreams.
Thank you so much for your comment. It demonstrates your wisdom and intellect. Though I must ask you, what is your dream?
Q x
My dream is to make a career out of being a director. It's one that will probably take a long time to achieve as there is only so much money available to be invested in films and it's hard to break in as a young director since people always want to invest in a proven commodity. However, it's the only job I can see myself doing long term and really enjoying and I'm committed to doing as much as I can to achieve it without violating my personal moral code.
It's going to take a combination of talent, hard work, networking (not the easiest thing for me as I'm quite shy), and a bit of luck to make it happen, but I think I can do it. In the meantime I'm hoping to find work anywhere I can on sets in Hollywood. I'd like to work as a camera assistant ideally as apart from your actors I think the camera is the most important tool a director has at his or her disposal. It would also allow me to be around the director of photography and director of the film so that I can watch and learn from people who have a wealth of experience to share.
