I`ve always wanted to call the shots because I would rather fail than not have a chance to figure it out on my own. I`m a very lazy person by nature. I have to be really engaged, and then I go straight from lazy to obsessive. I couldn`t study chemistry, but I could memorize all the books for Dungeons and Dragons. It was ridiculous. The trick is to find what I like to do.
