Jackson's childhood shaped everything about him—including his passion for traditional country music, his humility and his work ethic. While chasing his dreams, he worked as a car salesman and mailroom clerk to make ends meet, never letting rejection stop him. In October 1989, he signed his first record deal at the age of 30. Just a few months later, he'd released "Here in the Real World," which soared to No. 3 on the country music chart.

Quote of the Day by Alan Jackson
Jackson's words are so simple, but so important. Just like his music, they'll resonate with all kinds of people from all walks of life. He's not talking about his career accolades or material items, he's giving us a front row seat to the lessons he's learned during the course of his life. Getting older can be scary—but he's saying there's nothing to be afraid of. Because we're not losing anything, we're gaining wisdom and continuing to discover who we are and what moves us.
It's been close to 40 years since Jackson signed his first record deal, but over the years, he hasn't changed. He's simply learned more about life and what's important—and that's the perfect perspective on aging. You may grow older, but life gets better because you understand what brings you joy and avoid the things that don't.
That attitude extends to the singer's perspective on his career: “This is a job. You have to work, commit and be dedicated. It’s also fun and rewarding, and it’s not near as hard work as most of my fans have to do for a living. It’s hard to complain.”
