Al Merrick is the founder of Channel Island Surfboards. Al is man who only went to two years in college, but never found great interesting. His main interest was always surfing which influenced him in making them himself, and never thought or expected to grow into hi own business. He says never look to be financially successful for while never leave you to live a happy life. Andrew Lins is a conservator at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. When he was young he had two ideas to do in life, medicine and art. And since he knew that medicine was something his parents would approved he took it. Until he got in an accident he really thought a lot about life, until he ran into professor in a art, which later advice him to look into conservation that do art and science. And since then Andrew appreciated this for one cant take back the days that already passed. Chris Flink is a product designer at IDEO who the owner use to be his councilor at Stanford. His counselor David Kelly was the one who influence to go into design, for during the time Chris was a Stanford he had always thought that career was always about proving others what you can do but in reality it should only be you.
2. What advice did they have to give? (Each person)Al Merrick: “People are in a rush to start their lives, and it's sad...the rest of their lives, they're working at something they don't enjoy.”
Andrew Lins:“Do the things that you feel like you're spending your time well. In the end, you'll be happy, if not proud of your life.”
Chris Flink: “You have to find something that allows some piece of your soul—the part that you're passionate about—to participate. If you turn your back on that, you're setting yourself up for misery.”
3. Do any of these careers interest you? (Why or why not?)
From these three careers my most favorite one is Al's for even though I have never surfed before I really like how you can design them and create million of patterns that just sparks me with crazy ideas, you never I know I might even take a surf class one day.
4. What did you like/dislike about these careers?
I liked the videos its just i wished when they showed people who created their own shops or companies. Let us know what was one of their best creation, or what was the hit that got everything started to have an idea of how it was.

RTN – Interviews in Philosophy and religion
1. What were the careers introduced? (List name and career)
Trelise Cooper didn't know anything about fashion when she opened her shop at age 23. She remembered the night before opening she complaining what made her think how the heck she she could do this. Opening day she noticed that she had line waiting outside, and just takes effort to trust yourself a bit more. Of course there will always be haters, but she says its a journey of self expression, how you live your life and also is a personal growth journey. Tim Brown was born in England where he use to study classical English not until when he was around 17 that he started to find interest in art. But when he told his councilors of his new interest and plan his school councilor weren't quite happy. Even so he perused it and use that negativity as his motivation to keep doing what e now loves.Michelle Dreher is a women who became the founder of Two Tone Press, but she always dreamed and hoped of many things and wasn't really interested in illustration not until she got an internship at Hammerpress Letterpress Printers. Which influenced her to develop a passion of letter pressing, and motivated her to open her own shop. Shes says you can say she was waiting for that moment in her life to arrive.
2. What advice did they have to give? (Each person)
Trelise Cooper:“‘Cause actually fear doesn't go away—fear is with you and it will stop you or you can actually do it with fear anyway.”
Tim brown:“I feel the most respect for people who keep searching. There are plenty of people who realize they are in the wrong thing and just keep looking.”
Michelle Dreher: “Do you really want to spend years thinking about what you want to do? Or do you want to actually do something?”
3. Do any of these careers interest you? (Why or why not?)
The career that I like from all this three is Trelise and how even though she knew nothing about fashion and scared to death, she over came those fears and made her stronger and happier.
4. What did you like/dislike about these careers?
I like the fact that its shows no matter were you are or what you do you eventually will come around and find what makes you, you. No matter how long it will take it eventually will come your way.
