For me it was being 23 and working with this old photographer on a video company. The guys wife got cancer and he was on the verge of losing everything and everyone told me not to trust him for racist reasons. And I remember just thinking to myself "You narssicistic asshole, you better be sure about this because your big fat head might be why you miss out on the most opportunity filled part of your life because you think you're smarter than everyone else, and you're an asshole so you deserve it"
But it turned out fine ๐ I made some really important friends and learned more than pretty much anyone I met the same age as me.

When i was working in sales we suddenly lost our biggest account. This was in the 90s when the economy was really suffering. I expected that within a year i would be unemployed. I can still remember that day. I went with my wife and kids to the movies. We saw The Rocketeer. It was a very hot day so we all slept in the family room where it was cooler. I did not sleep at all and I was just thinking about what I was going to do next.
By the time the sun came up I had a whole blueprint for the rest of my life in my head. I knew exactly what I had to do and I was pretty sure I knew how to do it..
That's some real man shit. Sounds like you made it out OK, I hope so!
@Telekinetic-Potato I made a plan and I executed it. I kept doing "the next thing" and there were a few bumps along the way but I handed them. I eventually changed careers at 39 and I never looked back.
Being blackmailed by a client, getting police involved and taking the sick fucker to court. He was sentenced to 4 months of home detention due to first time offence and other leniencies.
Damm what do you do?
