Did you have pushy parents that wanted you to perform well and maybe become a professional sportsperson?

No, I was a very good athlete and both my divorced parents never supported what I wanted for myself, so I choose being a humble carpenter to piss them both off.

@WintaTheAngle at times, but I focus on constantly improving instead, more so, and climbed rungs of a ladder, my younger self tossed away as trash.
