I have friends who are unemployed or underemployed. They are always bitching "I can't find a job" and "Nobody's hiring." WTF? Do they spend their spare time thinking of some way to employ themselves? No. I say, "Well, what can you do? Go out there and offer it on a freelance basis. If you can start your own business, you'll be glad you did." "Oh," they say, "I can't do that. I'm not as talented as you." I don't believe it.

Behind every successful business is someone willing to take a risk. A lot of people are just shit-scared of taking a risk. If you're afraid to be poor and live on Top Ramen and help from friends and relatives for a while, if you're afraid of rejection because your ego is so fragile, if you will sit on your butt unless there's some mommy/daddy figure to keep you busy by giving you work to do, you deserve to be miserable.
