Brilliant post. Especially on the topic of advice. I like Nicholas Nasim Taleb:
'I hesitate to give advice because every major single piece of advice I was given turned out to be wrong and I am glad I didn’t follow them.
If I had to relive my life I would be even more stubborn and uncompromising than I have been'.
One really needs to find their own path.
Wow really? It's true. Things don't work out the same way for everyone.
