Topo was doing all odd jobs, but it would be hard to call
it a profession. When asked about his future career, he felt blank. He
had no clue. All he knew he’d like to have lots of money and fame.
His mother was a scientist and his father was a stage designer. None of
them would qualify for either category. In high school he made a list of
professions likely to fulfill his demands of a successful career. He created
a grid with money on the horizontal axis and fame on vertical. One thing
was for sure: the most famous people were those who worked very hard during
their entire life and were already deceased, and all the rich people had
to go through all sorts of experiences that were on his “less likely” list,
and they were forgotten soon after they died. Another option was to enter
the Guinness Book of Records, but he had no clue what to do that was unique
and he did not possess enough power to peruse one discipline to make his
contribution unique. His blog entries were consistent: what you do to become
good at it. He begun another list of things he could possibly like. He
created a site with downloadable market analysis, comparative entries to
help other people pick a profession and very soon the money started to
pour and everybody talked about him. "Will it last?" he wondered.
