Yep

I had dreams and aspirations of being in the MotoGP, mainly cause I like the idea of being at the top level and going as fast as you can on a bike but also cause of the glory and fame (cause I've always been ignored and to be noticed would be nice). But then I realised, I'm not rich enough to get to that level, I started riding to late and people my age are already living my dream, and how many riders names do you know off the top of your head. Rossi, Pedrosa, etc. The thing is most people are nothing in the great scheme of things. Out of 6 billion people in this world very few are known by the rest of the world, and they're only known by everyone cause they've had advantages like money since birth, or in rossi's case his Dad was a top rider. In little than 2 years I've surpassed my Dads skill level. The best you can do is give up on the big dreams of glory and just be the best person you can be to your close family and friends. You'll die largely unknown but at least your close family will remember how good a person you were for a few generations

Cheer up Dave. When the time comes, if not too many people other than my friends and family care if im gone, then its their loss for not knowing me! Even for famous people who have done some recognised stuff, no one remembers them in 10 years time except for the select few they had a special influence in their lives, and it'll be the same for you and me. Only truly infamous people like stalin, hitler and cortez get remebered by the masses and im not really sure id like my name added to that list. So, lets just accumulate as many speeding tickets as we can and be content with some IT dude in the police looking at our records in 100 years time and smiling!
