As a Barber, you dream of winning a tournament and chasing your goals and dreams. Some people do it for fun, but others do it as their job. I worked hours and hours and dedicated my time to it; I’ve lost friends, relationships, and overall my time. Barbering is not only just a skill, it’s a coping thing too. I think people don’t understand how far you can really go by cutting hair and picking up some clippers.
When I first started I never knew if I would compete or not but eventually got told that I can do really good designs and can over all draw pretty good too it wasnt till last year when I took my first Barber tournament I didn’t place no were close to were I wanted to be but got a lesson learned and and going to come back stronger this time we placed in the top 10 okay good and now till recently I’ve placed first and one something I’ve always wanted but the question I have now is was it all worth it? Losing friends, my time, relationships, all for a piece of joy and a trophy. At the end of the day, it was cool to match up with my boy and cut together right next to each other to perform in front of 50 of the best barbers in town, but was it all really worth it?
Passion over greatness. Dreams don’t come true overnight. It takes time, sweat, blood, tears, and dedication. Chasing dreams isn’t about how good you are but how patient you can be. It’s like a tiger hunting for its prey. When the time is right, they strike and they eat goo,d just think about that with whatever you do.
