Both of these Voices

You know, it's frustrating, being a regular guy from a poor family trying to make it in this crazy, mixed-up world.

Half of the voices you hear say the following: "The world is your oyster, baby!  If you work hard and stay focused, then you too can be a massive success.  You could be the next Steve Jobs, the next Mark Zuckerberg, the next Walt Disney!  The unlimited possibilities of America are totally open to you, like a Las Vegas buffet!  Where does your true calling lie?"

The other half say: "Uhhh... eeessshh.... yes, this dream of yours?  Listen, kid, there's a reason they're called dreams.  If they could exist, they'd be called "reals."  Now that you're in your thirties, you, ah, need to start thinking practically about your future, because the idea of getting your pie-in-the-sky job (that many people actually have) is just faerie dust that's preventing you from buying a house and starting that 401K."

Both of these voices suck.
