> continue this hobby uninterrupted for a few more years which is cool
Congratulations on the new job. As for the hobby, it is always good to reflect upon Tae Kwon Leep:
Master: “Approach, students. Close the circle at the feet of the Master. You have come to me asking that I be your guide along the path of tae-kwon-leep, but be warned. To learn its ways, you must learn the ways of your own soul. Let us meditate upon this wisdom now.”
Ed Gruberman: “Uh, sir… sir… ooo! ooo! Sir!”
Master: “Who disturbs our meditation as a pebble disturbs a pond?”
Ed Gruberman: “Me! Ed Gruberman.”
Master: “E… Ed Gruberman?”
Ed Gruberman: “Yeah. No disrespect or nothing, but like how long is this going to take?”
Master: “Tae-Kwon-Leep is not a path to a door, but a road leading forever towards the horizon.”
Ed Gruberman: “So like, what, an hour or so?”
Master: “No, no. We have not even begun upon the path. Ed Gruberman, you must learn patience.”
Ed Gruberman: “Yeah, yeah, patience. How long will that take?”
Master: “Time has no meaning. To a true student, a year is as a day.”
Ed Gruberman: “A YEAR?!”
