No safe track

Now people start giving me the advice to take a safe track. "Why don't you become a teacher?", they say. I'm trying to remember other occasions when I received similar type of advices, don't take any risk, don't buy too large, go for a safe job etc, and how I usually regretted having "played safe".

I have no desire whatsoever to become a teacher. I believe there are already too many uninterested teachers in the world, who rather would have liked to do something else. They stay at their jobs in school and maybe spoil some of the fun for the pupils. I have no plans to become one of them.

However, I need to focus on the right things, in order to become successful in "not following the safe track".

Writing here is typically not one of them... but I do it anyway.
