I only read the bolded part of your text, but this is probably the case for 95% of young 2p2ers. Smart and lazy.

Jared im the same as you, almost the same story minus the spanish.
I think people like us realize that if we apply 10% of our abilities we can live comfortably and get 70-80% satifaction(results) in whatever it is we do. And if we apply 90-100% of our abilitys or results will rise by no more than 15%. so why work 800% harder to get a 15% improvement. thats my take on it anyways.

So I go to Coffee Bean with my co-worker this morning, and we're waiting in line and I notice one of the mugs they're selling inscribed with:

"What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?"

So I kind of chuckle to myself (cause it reminds me of this thread) - and my co-worker asks "what's so funny?" And I say "it reminds me of a uh conversation I was having the other day". And she says, without missing a beat, "well I'd write and illustrate a children's book and get it published." (We both work in business planning for television network / studio.)

Limon - yo I got mad game! [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

My actual answer would prolly be start a company and get it public, acquired (some reasonable exit that indicated a measure of overall industry success). Or write a book and publish it (something non-fiction).

You know, I thought athletics was supposed to instill the value of integrity and hard work in you when you're growing up. Cardo, you do the fencing thing and you've mentioned some high school football. Have the life lessons of these sports not rubbed off on you?
