Even though I sometimes complain about being judged by "normal" people, but I know by far that my job isn't the only job that gets judged by others. I've tried other career paths and faced other types of criticism. And I get fascinated by people and the hardships they had to face in order to live their dreams.<br /><br />I am an introvert. Not because I hate people, but because I like doing introverted hobbies like reading. But I still go out and meet a lot of interesting people. When I hear their stories, I always wonder if it's possible to put some of it into one of my books.EB_Blacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606209712314101104.post-63962041799433028302014-06-27T05:39:45.974-07:002014-06-27T05:39:45.974-07:00Great post Braden!
