Chanced upon this blog entry about “why you shouldn’t put up with a job you hate“. The hosts friend believed he would “never be happy unless I’m making a living as a musician”.
Her reply to him was:
“Well,” I said, “you might as well go for it, then. The worst that can happen is that you’ll fail, and be only as unhappy as you are now.”
Abso-fricken-lutely.
