  • There’s no guarantee

    When we decide to begin doing things we’ve never done before, we might hesitate to push towards the unknown just because we don’t know whether it will work out (or not). And the thing about starting new things is that there’s no guarantee it will work out. But do it anyway. Because you’ll never know… Read more

    If you are doing work you hope that reaches someone, anyone, and changes a part of their life in the process, you may be tempted to solely focus on finding an audience.

  • The shelf-life of your diploma

    I can remember how we remarked about all the things we need to learn while we were in school. And for some of us, we can’t help wonder how the lessons are becoming irrelevant by the time we graduate from college.
