What you love to do with grow in you, so long as you stay true to who you are and allow yourself to change and develop freely.*
Hugh Macleod

Pay attention to the world, and train yourself to notice the details that others miss.
Rohit Bhargava

I must continue on a path of
openness and change.
Some may argue that I will be an insubstantial man,
Blown this way or that by the next idea I meet, that
I will lack belief and conviction.
Yet it is in this tension that I am who I am,
That we are who we are:
When we both remain the same and change:
Self-knowledge might be the most difficult of life’s rewards –
the hardest to earn and the hardest to bear.
To know yourself is to know that you are not an unassailable fixity
amid the entropic storm of the universe
but a set of fragilities in constant flux.
To know yourself is to know that you are not
invulnerable.^
