I have won important things for myself, but I'm going to destroy them, because I tell myself they have lost their meaning. I know that is not true. I know they are important, and that if I destroy them, I'll be destroying myself, as well.
Paulo CoelhoIf I had to give you one piece of advice, it would be this: donโt be intimidated by other peopleโs opinions. Only mediocrity is sure of itself, so take risks and do what you really want to do. Seek out people who arenโt afraid of making mistakes and who, therefore, do make mistakes. Because of that, their work often isnโt recognized, but they are precisely the kind of people who change the world and, after many mistakes, do something that will transform their own community completely.
