that. Pretty soon, you have
something.

different. People laughed at the way I dressed, but that

anyone."

Take Calculated RisksPhilip Petite
"Life should be lived on the edge of life. You have to exercise rebellion: to refuse to tape yourself to rules, to refuse your own success, to refuse to repeat yourself, to see every day, every year, every idea as a true challenge - and then you are going to live your life on a tightrope." Philippe Petit

Practice Self ImprovementReid Hoffman
• We are all in a state of permanent beta.
• Do you know how to develop a competitive advantage to win the best jobs and opportunities?
You are what you learn. If all you know is how to be a gang member, that's what you'll be. If you go to law
school, you'll see the world as a competition. If you study engineering, you'll start to see the world as a machine
that needs tweaking. A person changes at a fundamental level as he or she merges with a particular field of knowledge. If you don't like who you are, you have the option of learning until you become someone else. There's almost nothing you can't learn your way out of. Life is like jail with an unlocked, heavy door.
You're free the minute you realize the door will open if you simply lean into it.
Scott Adams (creator of Dilbert)
