How To Make The Best Decision Of Your Life
I walked into a well-paying secure government job and QUIT. JUST LIKE THAT. I had no job prospects, and no income and I became homeless. THE BEST DECISION I EVER MADE.
I decided that if I had to work it had better be something I love to do. I was introduced to computers at the age of 16 in high school. I was in a wood shop class and went through 16 blocks of wood trying to make a peg board. The teacher sent me to my counselor and they put me in a computer class. I loved the class and attended it for 3 years.
I was penniless and homeless after using my unemployment and drawing down my retirement money. I went to my Dad and asked if could move back home.
NO…go to your Aunt and talk to her maybe she can help.
My aunt managed the family apartment building. She agreed to do 2 things.
I will give you one meal a day…
You can stay in the back room in the basement until you get on your feet and I will give you bus fare for one day after that you are on your OWN!!!
My friends were talking about going to school for computers. They were going through the process for over a year. They were on a waiting list and many went on to do other things while waiting. It was a FREE 12 week course and I HAD TO GET IN THAT TRAINING.
There was an interview for getting on the WAITING LIST to get into the training course. I took the bus, stood in line and when I got up to the secretary.
