Neil Peart once wrote lyrics to a song titled, Losing It." while not altogether the same as what we are talking bout here, I felt it was close enough to share.
"Sadder still to watch it die than never to have known it. For you, the blind who once could see, the bell tolls for thee."
I regret not pushing harder in baseball when I was young. I regret it every day. I know I had something special, but I allowed my friends who did not play the game to influence me to give it up too early, and by the time I returned to the game, it had passed me by.
Is the major important? Of course. But expecting a 17-year-old to know precisely what they want to do with the rest of their life is absurd. That's why I tell my clients and kids to study what they enjoy and are good at, not what everyone else tells them they should do.
