Usama Young: Bad Advice

Contrary to popular belief, dreams very rarely (read 99.999% of the time) do not come true.

New Orleans Saints player Usama Young was featured in a commercial chronicling his incompetence in previous sectors of employment. His reasoning? He wanted to be a pro football player instead of a snow cone vendor or a maintenance man.

Go into work and throw a snow globe at a vending machine and try telling your boss you did it since you want to be the next ace knuckleballer for the Chicago White Sox.

You will be fired. And you aren’t even good enough to pitch for an over-35 beer league team.

Competence at work is a virtue, no matter if you think you are destined for your current state of employment are not.
