I hate when our society shames people for not living up to what others perceive as their potential. First of all it’s THEIR potential, second if you were so talented that your expectations were to be a professional athlete, musician etc and for whatever reason that doesn’t happen does that really make you a failure?

I actually know people that have one millions in the lottery; I don’t personally know any pro football players. If I don’t win mega bucks will my community clown me? Because going pro is like winning the lottery.  I’m friends with people that were great athletes in their time, no matter what they’re doing in 2014 the impact they had on their sport can never be denied.

What message does that send to the youth, we love you when you’re hot but if you don’t go pro you aint shit so you’d be safer not trying?! People are backwards. The end.
