The Trucker While traveling home from a road trip to Laughlin, Nevada I stopped for lunch at the famous diner Peggy’s Sues off the 15 highway and 40 interstate in Cholame, CA. I sat next to an older man who I introduced myself to. After exchanging pleasantries, I let him know I was writing a book called 57 <strong>Jobs</strong> and counting and asked him what he did for a career. He said he was a truck driver, over the road driver that is. I asked him what led him to be a truck driver. He said he saw a big truck pass down the road where he grew up in Canada when he was about five years old. That day he told his Mom he wanted to be a truck driver. After High School he quickly realized his 1st job working at a Factory was not for him. He started driving trucks for a living and still drives to this day at the age of 70. For some finding your passion is done early in life. For others, the path to finding a career path you love is never realized and to some they find out later in life. The main purpose for writing this book was to share my thoughts and help people to seek employment or pursue a career in an area that they are passionate about. Don’t worry about money at first because I’ve heard it said many times that if you love what you do you will never work a day in your life. Being realistic I must say that “work is work” . Best to do something you have a passion for since we all should strive to work at something we enjoy in our short time on earth. 144
At JBGmg my company we found our passion pursuing things we enjoy that being sports, travel, reporting, social media, history, adventure and selling a few shacks, homes, and mansions now and then to help pay the bills. Remember always to seek doing things that you are passionate about. The road may get bumpy and you may take some wrong turns, but always try to get back on track following your heart. God Bless, live with purpose, say hello to someone you don’t know and ask them What’s your Story? Thanks to my High School buddies Terry McKenna for that final thought What’s your Story? …and Stan Suter for reminding me to ask people I meet, What’s Your Story? Everyone has a story and you can learn from everyone you meet. 145
