Thinking back now, I was almost never able to find anyone with my kind of ambition and a different vision for the future. I could never find anyone in my region who was willing to go into the unknown and wanted what I wanted in the big scheme of things. I understand, it is also not easy for non-creative people to relate to a creative person who wants to make things, has their own opinion, is not a follower of the masses and blindly does what every one else is doing without ques...
