The Problem Was College, Not Condoms.

Isn't it funny how you try to plan out your life and life never seems to go that way? What you dreamed of doing, never seems to happen, because you have to pay the bills, so you have to spend countless hours at the job, that well, pays the bills and you don't really like it?

I was not the type to decide “oh yeah I want to be a doctor, nurse or electrician.” I went to college every decade of my life. Yep, I went in my teens, then my twenties, then in my thirties, and still again in my forties. Geez what the hell was wrong with me? How come I could never find a career that I could complete?

The problem was College. You see college, was only looking into making money, they only wanted to teach what they think people wanted to learn, or at least what was the most popular things. For me, being extremely creative, they had no options for me. Or at least they did not seek to find out what I was really made of. They only wanted my money. They didn't care if I graduated or not. They didn't care if I was in the wrong fields or not. All they cared about was, if I paid.

All along my search for a career, I was always doing one thing. Thinking of ideas to help others. Inventing products in my mind. In fact if I had developed one of the first products I wanted to do, I'd be a f****** billionaire right now. That product was Condoms. The time was the early 80's and AIDS was hitting the scene, and scaring people away from having FREE unprotected sex.

The one thing I knew is that condoms SUCK. Not only do men hate them, but hey, us women also hate them, because it's not the real thing. Skin on Skin, is like the ultimate feeling, who want's fake? No one.

I wanted to develop condoms that were actually desirable to use. Condoms that made sex real and gave you protection from this horrible scary STD.

What did I do? Nothing. I was 23 years old and the word StartUp did not exist. The idea that anyone could do anything they thought up did not exist. Funding may have, but that was also a world that did not exist to me.

Yeah, I had this idea and that idea month after month, year after year. What would I do with these ideas I had in my head? Nothing. So all I did was live life to pay the bills, all the while adding more ideas upon ideas that only haunted me, tormenting me, because I had no idea how to turn them into reality. They were always trapped in my head.

Condoms have come along way since then, yeah they got it, they tried to improve on the product that really sucks, they have all kinds of different choices now, and they have special products that can enhance the pleasure of both. Yet these ideas came along, way after the point of when I wanted to change that product.

So my point is, that if you have an idea that nags you, you should follow it no matter what. You may be way ahead of the idea then society is, and if you pursue it you may develop the product that helps humanity.

I may revisit the condom problem someday. It's still a problem, no one likes them, even if they work. Maybe I'll make the one that works and feels just right...Whew so sweet............ Keep chasing your ideas, they matter, they could help people. Don't give up.
