Random questions to which you seek an answer

Do you miss having a piece of your past, or do you still love the way the jacket looks? It looks a little dated if I'm being honest Gav. I think the clothes you wear today are much more classic and will stand the test of time better.

Fair comments guys, I think I just needed a sanity check 

Thank you as always.

I'm ambivalent about the two tone, but I love the cafe racer style.  If I were ever to buy a leather jacket, that would be my pick.

[natehate]

I should have been more clear.  I also love cafes just not that one. The two tone and color choice and pocket style doesn't do anything for me.

Very personal question here so I won't be mad if no one answers. At what age did you discover what you wanted to be in life

[Giles]

47

[Seul]

32 and still have no idea… No ambition other than to drink good beers, read good books, and sleep as much as possible...

Let's just say I probs won't become a millionaire, but I'll probably die happy... Good enough for me...

22, but it can change, I am only 25 haha
After my first apprenticeship (trained retail salesman) I did 9 months of alternative services at a Kindergarten with disabled/ handicapped kids and then I knew what I wanna do

[seawolf]

I was 12. I was at a restaurant that showed me food in ways I had never seen before, and at that moment, I decided I wanted to be a chef. That was 20 years ago.

I've tried and failed 3x at doing what I love. Each time I'm thankful for the opportunity and go back to the drawing board. For now, it's more about the attitude and baggage I bring (or don't bring) with me to the job. It's been this way for the last 2.5 years, but was based on much deep/long meditation in my early 20's (took quite a few years to sink in)

Still searching.

Mediation Snowy, for real?

This is something I have wanted to get into for some time.  Yell out if you can assist in pointing me in the right direction.

For reals, spent months living in monasteries around the world. It's worth doing, it's a practice I've used for so long it's just part of what makes me up these days.

In terms of pointers, the answer is yes, but it depends :). It depends on what style of person you are. I spent the first few years trying out many different schools / types of practice before I found one that worked for my method of being (Zen). Which are you (pick 1) visual, logical, story-drive? From there I can start looking for the right practice in your area. Feel free to PM me your reply at this point, as the next question is where do you live (suburb level)

[Mild7]

Cheers Snowy. Ill PM shortly.

[Megatron1505]

35, I am 36 now.

[mclaincausey]

Almost 30. I'm closer to 40 than 30 now…

[Arabit]

Thanks for answering you guys.

[DougNg]

35 next week, still no idea what I want to do when I grow up

I've had four very distinct careers in my life, I've changed gears from medical research to law enforcement to investigation/quality control and now to training. I've been fairly successful at three of them, hated one of them

I've been pretty lucky in my professional career
