Her son was sixteen, working at an auto repair shop. He met a guy, thirty years old. Smart, kind, hated his job. He wanted to work in repair. But he said: ah, I never got the opportunity.

Her sixteen year old looked at him and said, you don't wait for life to happen, you make your life happen.

And the guy did. He went out and started learning what he needed.

Because waiting for your life to start keeps you stuck.
