"Better to do it when you're young," Hardison said without pausing. "Man, you know what life is like. Tomorrow ain't a given, not for anyone. The longer you go without pursuin' your dreams, the easier it'll be not to. Suddenly it'll be too risky, can't afford it with the mortgage an' the kids an' the credit cards. You'll be throwin' away your whole career, people - not us, not your family, but other folks - will say, better to stay a little longer, work a little harder, you can explore it when you're older, when you've retired."
Hardison shook his head. "Nah, you're young. Live a lot. Explore. Experiment. Take time to figure out what you love, not what you can stand. I get why you worry, Spike, I do, but...I'd rather see you try an' fail miserably, than to never try at all and just be miserable."
