I can certainly relate to this. All but one of the things I've
had any interest in all my life have been shot down by someone
(mostly my "loving" mother, though). But, one day, I may succeed
in having the shop I've wanted for many, many years. Just need
the capitol (capitol without strings, though).

Everyone goes through the same thing -- Steve Martin, I think,
even made a film about it (something about his "special purpose"
-- anyone know what I'm talking about?)
I know that doesn't help. Anyway, we're back to the real point
of persuing a certification. It's not the goal, but rather the
going. AC said, "The joy is in the winging" in one of his more
fameous poems (forget which one, now). Don't think about what
lies at the end. It's all so much easier when you either think
about what you're doing, or think of nothing at all. The goal is
reached, but the goal is not the point.
