Excellent advice, you should have been a life help person... whatever they're called.
You're scaring me though... "I have a plan and other crew members will jump in" and "I think she may be 2 years older than you" Please don't kidnap somebody on my account.
Thank you RR,...... but I can only speak on the subject because I lived it, and am living it,.....
Life coach or what ever they are called,....... they are trained and schooled by professionals,...
Professionals that never suggest severe impact,... or the use of a handgun,......
*
I get a good deal of respect from others because I am at the top of my trade,.....
come middle of September I'll have 45 years in the trade, not counting 6 years of school.
Over 50 years of putting chips on the floor,..........
Honestly, I'm thought of around here, as the "Best", in this piece of time, in this neck of the woods.
It's a proud thing to be the best at anything,............
I say these things not to boast, or prove something, my proving days are over.
I say these things so you more know who it is that is
more than proud to call you kin.
RR,..... my moms words,...
"that boy has more talent in his little finger,... then most people have in their whole body"
I know her like a book, if she were alive, those would be her
exact words.
What you haven't developed yet is confidence,......
Since you're a low key guy, not a loud mouth Italian, you'll have to gain some of that,
and build on it, and build on it, until you have a balance,.........
Confident, not cocky, a smile instead of bragging, not putting down the work of others,
but give encouragement and some pointers, and smile RR,.. don't forget to smile.
I am very, very, good at what I do RR, but, it was not without help and training,.....
by people who were considered the Best in the business,........
So remember these words RR, and always remember to give credit when credit is due,..
"If I have seen far, it is because I stood on the shoulders of giants"
Credit,... to those that walked before us, in times, where often, there was no road.
And these words RR,........
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
And these simple words,........
"I am just a pool player.
There's probably no less important thing on earth.
But mark this in your book,...I'm the best.
It's a proud thing to be the best."
At all times and always, strive to be the best at whatever you do,.....
Keep in mind RR,
true professionals,..their most important competition,..is the one they have with themselves.
"The fact is what I do is not a bad occupation, someone is always willing to pay.
There is no need to believe in either side, or any side,... there is no cause,
there is only yourself,..... the belief is in your own precision"

kidnap?
No,.... abduction
Because, no note, no ransom,.... and like that.
But, you're on the right track,........
LOL
