Living simple is for idiots.
I play tennis, piano and then continue with my daily tutions. However, this never happens with me everyday. I want to become a tennis player on the tour, and I haven't been playing tennis from birth. I started at 12, but still want to become one great player. I am sure to ask you suggestions for me, but also to help you : do not live simple. That's the easiest way to live and die. But to die as a legend, that's big and the rewards are too. I conclude, that I am no big Randy Pausch, but someone from the big public like you, explaining that : Don't settle. Live harder.
