I know there are people if I go into a market or a city for the first time there are people that are there that just want to see the famous person or the guy from 'Dumb and Dumber' or whatever movie they liked. And that's fine it gets them in the door but then it's my job to give them something different.
You can never really live anyone else's life not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life and what you've become yourself.
