Do you know what real hunger is, not the hunger you see on TV from various
wartime African countries, internal need for something to fill you up. The
people around you sit and work their asses off just for the next pay cheque
but not you, you want to create something. Something that you can leave to your
children's children's children.
This hunger is the greatest driving force that humans have, kings have
conquered vast lands trying to fill that need. Women have plotted against
others just to ensure their places in the annuls of history are assured. I have however
not been able to fully synthesize this feeling for myself. Time after a time i
want to start something and then i eventually give up because either my heart wasn’t
in it or i feel like my time would be better spent somewhere else. I need this
hunger.
As a teenager i read a few books by John Grisham and one overriding theme i
received from the young lawyers i read about is HUNGER. Working 18 hours a day every day so that you can get
that corner office was the hunger that i saw in those pages. It was all consuming and nothing could ever stop them from getting there.
That is the kind of hunger i speak off....i want it.
