my other hobbies. And that is RC cars. I don’t know if I have already written about them. If I have I will write about them again.
I remember my first RC car. It was small. A buggy type RC car. It took batteries in the car an the transmitter. At least I think it was my first RC car. Maybe it was the first RC car that we had that I considered my own.
I remember getting it and bringing it home. I am sure I drove it that first day. Though I am not sure that I drove it much after that.
And I thought about RC cars. When I was young I used to listen to a lot of sports talk radio and watch sports on TV. I was obsessed. I worried about trades, and how my favorite teen was doing. Looking back it did not make my life that much fun.
I though I wish I had spent all that time on driving RC cars and homework. I don’t know why I did what I did when I was younger. I needed to ask myself are you enjoying this instead of doing the same things over and over again.
I am sure I would have much more fun driving my RC car around than listening to the radio or watching TV. And I would have been learning a useful skill. Who knows if I had practiced everyday I might be able to drive an RC car now.
My thinking must have been back then that if you were not good at a thing the first time you tried it then why bother. Because you were never going to get good at it. I am not sure that is the case now.
Even if I would never have been the best drive I could have gotten better by lost of practice. And I would have had a lot of fun along the way. Live and learn.
