Seth Godin’s post about ‘The horrible reality of college admissions’ makes me think. My parents always tell me:

• Get good grades.

• Get a stable job.

• Get a promotion.

• Get a good husband.

What if… instead of getting all the ‘good’ stuff, I:

• Quit school.

• Quit my job.

• Say goodbye to promotion.

• Never get married.

What if … instead of getting into Harvard; I go ahead and start my own business; create millions of jobs; save millions of lives and make billions of dollar? Would that be so bad?  I know someone who did it.   What are you good at?
