@mingyahm eh, ur still a youth what? we're all young @ heart! :)

[JamesPadfoot]

This is brilliant. I like his 'just do it' attitude, which is a problem with a lot of the Gen Y's today. We think too much. Sometimes, you just have to do.

How I wish I had Brian's enthusiasm and passion and drive when I was a youth! Also wished we had more young people who would see this and believe that they have so much to offer! Love the fact that he took ownership of building his future and his life and creating a job that he loves. How he kept saying he challenged himself... that's what's missing in our communities! Brian's enthusiasm & passion is contagious!
