I schooled in Himachal Pradesh. I had taken up science and, initially, wanted to become a doctor. There are few career options for students of science though, so I shifted to Delhi and decided to try theater instead.
If I'd still been in one piece from the World Cup and gone through my career, what type of player would I have been? No doubt about it, if I hadn't had as many injuries I would have been the all-time leading scorer for England.
I turned down a film that was offered to me in the very early '80s, a Scorsese film. That probably wasn't a good career move.
It's not easy to reach the summit of your career by the age of 24 - and for the years after to be a humiliating scrabble downhill.

My family and I built my whole career from scratch.

He's got a book out, 'Story,' that I would highly recommend to anyone interested in improve their storytelling.
My career has been a level of serendipity all along. I've never planned anything out more than a few years. All the places we lived - the 12, 13 countries - and the companies I worked for were a combination of circumstances.
Shane Douglas accomplished quite a bit in and for ECW, but his career will forever be defined by the moment he threw down the NWA Title.
Very early in my career, I thought I had to conform to one style of leadership - lead by being the loudest one in the room, with the sharpest elbows.
My career record was 5-2 in penalty shootouts.
