Re: How did you end up in the career that you are in?
I broke things down a certain way and processed things in my head on a multi dimensional level. I thought far and dynamically. Infact I thought so far creatively, that I had little care to do things that were easy. My brain was able to focus on, for example, the music in an advertisement, the rift of a sitar in the back of a song, the variation of a small group of clouds in a big rainy storm, a subtle smell in an area that didn’t belong etc. I remained a C student all my life, even when I knew all the material. I once took a high level calculus class where I tutored people, which I myself flunked. Even in school when a project was due, it was more important to me how it looked and felt rather then the actual content.
Then I went to college and I started to do things on the side that I liked. I graduated and founda job and then one day it hit me… Once the realization set in, everything from my past made sense and I just left everything (my job, my car, my “career”)to pursue what came naturally to me. To this day, I am still dumb at normal things. I don’t have a hi IQ or anything, but there are just things I am better at then most in this universe. I suppose that’s how I got to where I am. I am the luckiest man I know.
