3 Ideas From Me

I.

“Books are the nearest thing to a time machine humans have ever made.”

​II.

“Don’t let a title become a trap.

• “I have to be a doctor.”
• “I need to get into that school.”
• “I can’t quit this job—it’s Google.”

There are many ways to live an amazing life. Stop thinking about the status of this particular title and focus on the substance of what you want. You’ll often find there are many ways to get similar amounts of joy, purpose, or freedom.
