You've got a lot of very, very smart people standing by waiting for somebody else to do the work. Not a recipe for long-term solvency in my opinion.

Not all knowledge comes from college.

Happiness comes from knowing what you truly value, and behaving in a way that's consistent with those beliefs.

Don't follow your passion, but always bring it with you.

Short-cuts lead to long delays.

People like to cherry-pick the parts of their career that they're either in the midst of or that they're the most proud of, but the truth is careers and lives are tapestries.

Passion is too important to be without, but too fickle to be guided by. Which is why I’m more inclined to say, 'Don’t Follow Your Passion, But Always Bring it With You.'
