Well its a new week with new opportunities and I plan to take full advantage of as many as I can. Over the weekend I was reading several rags to riches stories and found Jim Carrey's very interesting and decided to share it here along with this video that also includes Jim Carrey talking about his start. I highly recommend both. I see stories like this every day about people who start from nothing and with hard work and drive end up highly successful. If they can do it, so can we. Lets start the week strong and finish even stronger.
Jim Carrey's Story from list25
James Eugene Carrey was born in Ontario, Canada to a middle-income
family where his musician father worked as an accountant. However,
things got worse for his family when his father lost his job and they
all had to move to Scarborough. He worked at the Titan Wheels Factory
for eight hours a day while attending school, but never finished high
school. While living in a camper van, he started doing stand-up routines
and eventually landed a gig in the sitcom The Duck Factory. He first
gained recognition in 1990 when he became one of the casts in the sketch
comedy ‘In Living Colors.’ He later moved on to movies and became one
of the highest paid comedians in America.
