splashing it all the way

a friend of mine quit his day job to set up his own swim school. it's actually about time as his day job has been pretty shitty; and since he is a natural born swimmer and loves the sport, what better time than now to start out on his own??

for times like these i wonder if i should've return back to my martial arts training and start up my own school. i mean i spent 12 years of my life training, out of that, 5 years was spent on competitive training, got my referee certificate and was already teaching the juniors and helping out on managing the sports club... i could go back to where i left off and pursue my instructor certificate and start a proper school.

so what's stopping me? it is definitely not the lack of encouragement. it's the lack of courage. the fear of the unknown. the risks involved.

hence, i'm still stuck in the advertising industry... it's like selling my soul to the devil... but i still have the passion for advertising.

anyways, please spread the word around... whoever needs a swimming instructor, let me know. i'm not earning any commission from it. my friend and i both think that it's just important that everyone knows how to swim... and someday we won't read about drowning cases in the dailies anymore.
