Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana. The evening news is where they start by saying “Good evening.” and than proceed to tell you why it isn't. Two maggots were fighting in dead Ernest. God made the grass. We shouldn't cut it. I’ll be myself (joke time!)

I don't think a lot of people in this world know how. Which is probably a good thing because this world needs some kind of comformty to keep this crowded planet ticking over like a big machine. I guess if your successful and stand out from the rest, your not part of this big machine. You'll always have work. I think there's a CG project in here somewhere. Anyway, I admit I'm part of this machine but I can still express myself in some small way and also keep my day job, and that probably as real as I can get for now. Now, must remember to check the lottery ticket. Keeping it reel? I don’t think a lot of people in this world know how.

I have made an education as an electrician, cause my father told me "that's a good job..." after the 3 years of learning that stuff i've fired my boss because of the kind of work i had to do...then the employment center forced me to do an 1 years school in fine mechanics in that time it was satisfying me to see how the machines work and stuff was created out of a block...so i made 2 years more of education in that job... Then i got a full-time job in the industries...8 hours a day making bolts, screws --> boring. And yes i fired my boss again. After that i where without a job, without money...and i had to made a decission: what would i do in the next 35 or 40 years of working? i haven't known the answers at this time. therefor i became a temporary worker, i just wanted to see which jobs are out there, what can make me happy... It was a long time...but i found a job...and when i was 25 years old i've become an apprentice for the 3rd time. one year after finishing this. my big boss made me a small boss. why? ...you know the answer... i was staying there as a teamleader to get experience, but when i should become chief storekeeper i fired my boss again ;-) i left the company to get back as a temporary worker and started an additional training to a foreman...i took just a half year then the company i was working for get me "arrested" - i had to sign the work contract. why? ...i'm just love logistics... Last week i was asked by my boss: "could you imagine to be our chief storekeeper?" i could, because i love my job...but to get there where i want to in the future i need to modelling in blender (i love 3d art too) - logistics is my love, planning material-flows is my dream ;-) Hi Andrew, you’re so right…

I agree with you... i have been using Blender for about four months now... but - i really suck : ( i´m 12 years old and i have NO sparetime. (because of my homeworks) But i´m "playing" with blender in my very short sparetime. its a little problem for me to follow your tutorials because i live in denmark.... - and i´m not that good at english. good luck in the future : ) Hey Andrew!

My church asked me to do illustrations for Vacation Bible School this summer. It took me 2 months to get the first 3 posters painted. I was running out of time and realized that it was just taking me way too long to work in the children's book illustration style of thick outlines and bold, simple shapes. I'm a sketcher. It took me 2 days to do the last two posters in my own style and people loved them so much better than the first three. The content was the same, but the style was my own and people could see the difference between me doing something that I wasn't any good at, and doing something that not only was I more familiar with, but I also enjoyed a lot more.

It really gives me food for thought. I agree with what you say about focussing on what you want to do and if you have the passion, you will get there. I think that can be applied to most, if not all aspects of life. I currently work in a menial job to pay my bills. I decided a few months back (thanks in a big part to your work) that all I want to do in life for my career (not job - there is a difference) is work with 3D. I have not yet decided which area would bring me the most excitment, but I have narrowed it down to the Games Industry or the Film Industry. I will confess to not really having much of an interest in 3D, CGI or Digital Art until maybe a year ago. It was always something that existed and I was conscious of it, but it wasn't something that occured to me as a hobby. Getting hold of Blender and trying some of your tutorials is what has really hooked me. I still have a lot to learn and until I know where my strengths lie (Character, Environment, Effects etc) I can't truly start on this long ladder of my CG career. but here is my point. I know and see so many adults in my life who are of an older generation than myself at 26. They are fairly happy people but nearly every one of them has a job, not a career. They are good at their jobs and they work hard but you could rarely say they are passionate. They seem to have given into some reality that says 'stick tto what you know' and they have no aspirations in life at all, as far as work goes. To give an example, I worked in a supermarket when I was 18 with a woman of 43. I found one time, that she had been working for that company since she was 20 (23 years at the time) and she was still a shop floor assistant stacking shelves. Now her loyalty and stamina in that job are certainly to be commended, of that there is no doubt, but I always felt sad to think that from such a young age, her working life took such a straight path with no change, and in cush a menial role as well. I had decided some time ago that it was not going to be me. If I have to kick scream and bite my way through life, I will not fall into the trap of keeping a bad job. I have my goal now. I want my own studio (in whatever area that may be) and if I have to work for 15 years to get good enough, it will happen but I will make my dream come true. I share this with you because, in some small way Andrew, you have helped me see that I just need to work at it. Thanks again Andrew. If you're ever in Liverpool, UK, the beers are on me :) Hi Andrew, great video. It really gives me food for thought.
