And that's why it's so much easier for younger people, I think, to start companies that are challenging more traditional business models than older people. Especially if you're trying to do something good.

David OyelowoIt often seems easier not to move on; even the muck and mire in which we're stuck seems less fearful and less challenging than the unknown path ahead.

When you have faith, you move. Complacency actually shows lack of faith. When it's time to move in a new direction in order to progress, the right people will come to us.
