I think what saved me was playing on the college golf team. It gave me a purpose outside of school and I was decent at it. Back then I had a ton of energy so sleeping was only an option and I was up to a ton of stupid stuff.
I got into some shady business at too young of an age but I always worked hard at my real jobs because I knew what the alternative was and didn't want to be those people..
LOL they voted me 'best businessman' in my high school class and it definitely had nothing to do with me being the next Bill Gates..
When I got on the golf course it opened up a new world for me, rubbing elbows with successful people and seeing their vulnerabilities as well as my own.. Of course I only wound up being a carpenter but it was something I could be involved in.. I tried woking in offices and it drove me nuts. It is more fun to build them.
