The best decision of YOUR life #1

My best decision so far was to go to china. studying, meeting new people, breaking out of the usual world where i lived. it was awesome. among those people i even met a nice gaffer and my current girlfriend.

But what about u, what was your best decision?

That would be last summer when I decided to go to a public university instead of a private university, and my decision to focus more on improving myself with goals. Life has been grand since then, and it will only get better from here.

So far going to university after I dropped out of school in the eighth grade. Soon I have to make a decision on which university to transfer to, to complete my education, I'm hoping that will end up being the best decision, but we'll see.

Going to the gym. Broke out of my comfort zone, met new people, got a new hobby, and perhaps more importantly, I feel great.

My girlfriend asked me if i wanted to try and have a kid with her. I said yes and we now have a fantastic 4 year old boy. He is truelly awesome. Best thing that happened to me.

Also, i decided to save money for a powermac when i graduated from art school. From the moment i had it i started making money. Till this day i can make enough money with the thing i love doing most: making drawings, animations, illustrations, graphic design, etc.

After lots of job hunting after my masters, I ended up with 2 choices for jobs. QA at a factory, or research at a University. I picked the University because I thought the job would be more interesting, even though I was going to get paid less.

2 months later, that factory laid off like 20% of its workforce. I would've been so new that there would be no question I would've been out of there.
