I have a 16-year-old son. I’m in my early 30s (had him very young) and a professional footballer. My son also dreams of becoming a successful footballer (he’s been playing since he was 6), but he’s just… not great. He’s good, but not great - and in this extremely competitive industry you need to be at least great in order to even stand a chance. So I told him, as someone who’s been doing this for a very, very long time & is active in this sphere, that he should find another, more attainable dream. He took it as me not believing in him, but I’m just objective and realistic.
You had a catastrophic accident that lowered your mental facilities enough to allow you to drive trucks?
What do you even mean by this?
Brain damage from an injury made him “dumb enough” to drive a truck. It’s a joke riffing on the idea that someone who’s smart shouldn’t do a job for “stupid” people lest they waste their potential.
Waste your potential if it makes you happy!!!
