As for drive it's something that's CULTIVATED over many years of struggle and hard work and pushing through barriers and obstacles |
The drive does grow stronger, I used ot listen to tapes everyday, read everynight and go to at least one lecture on anything positive or financial once a month. Now I don't need to do it. I just watch my showreel, my old wrestling tapes, or MY movie that I wrote and starred in and have right here on DVD. That is all the motivation I need today. Yes it is 'only' a Thailand cinema release (successful) and it is 'only' a International DVD release, but I am extremely proud of my accomplishment.
The reason I blow my own trumpet on here so much is that so many are giving advice when they are not qualified. My qualification is my achievements, my success in my chosen path. You cannot learn anything from someone who read the book (that you also read) and then loves to go telling people how to live. Most of these people are not experienced in the advice they are giving.
If someone asked me advice on a motorcycle, or mountain climbing, or which corporate job would suit them best I quite happily admit that I do not know, go ask a specialist, find an expert, preferrably someone who you would aspire to be like - ask them for advice.
When I worked with David Carradine I shut up and listened to him talk, I took it all in, and encouraged him to continue. I look forward to the day I get to be one on one with Jean Claude Van Damm and Dolph Lundgren, I will do the same. These are people whose accomplishments I respect and would like to emulate, to learn and adapt their experiences for my own life.
I'd never get on here and ask for advice on my acting career, yet plenty of unqualified people would give plenty of advice for free - because that is what the advice is worth = nothing. (Even if they have good intentions it is still harmful for you. Like a very good mate who recently started trying to get me to give up my dreams, he thinks I am running out of time and need to get a job and a house - he has good intentions but if he says it again I will never talk to him again)
