"Do what you want to do in life and then, no matter how remote the chances, try to achieve that goal.  There will be a gazillion people who tell you that you are being unrealistic, that it won't pay enough, that it won't be 'safe,' and that you should do something more reliable.  But the one thing that this 65-year-old man has to say is that life is very short.  Do what you really want to do, and the rest will follow."
