Too much curiosity kills the cat. Likewise, too much ambition kills a career. You sound skeptical but its true. I would know from experience. Let me tell you a story.
It was a rainy Tuesday dated August 8 1998. I remember the date because August is the eighth month of the year and I though how funny it was that there were so many eights in the date! It was late, and I was tired but I still needed the perfect picture. You see, I work for a calendar business. Sure, it may sound lame to you but I get paid to take beautiful pictures that they put in their calendars. Its a small business, and deals locally mostly, but its still my dream job. Any who, I was still out looking for that one moment in time, that one “you had to be in the right place at the right time” kind of picture. One that would not only take my breath away, but yours if you bought that calendar. I saw my reflection in a window and thought, “why not.” So I snapped a picture. A quick photo-op if you will.
