What numbers say about Thom?
You lack self-confidence and self-reliance. Learn what makes you happy. You sleep a lot because it's your way of escaping reality. Your only mistake is that you are trying to prove others you can do it, instead of proving yourself. Nothing can stop them from achieving what they intended. Your kindness is your only flaw. Not being focused on building an impressive career doesn't mean you should stay uneducated and blind.
