Unsolicited advice for my children and their children's children when they are ready. Don't play it safe but go after what you want. Seek adventures! Default to adventures!
Attention is the most important & most valuable thing that each one of us have in equal amount and control over. Females & males will exchange their money & time for status & beauty to steal your attention. Don't ever give your attention freely.
Your journey makes the destination meaningful. How you get there makes the difference. How you win makes it worth of celebration. How hard you work for it, is the reward.
