未来不是写在星星上的。没有保证。所以，认领你的成年。要有意图。开始工作。选择你的家庭。做数学题。创造你自己的确定性。不要被你不知道或没做的事情定义。你现在正在决定你的生活。
The future isn't written in the stars. There are no guarantees. So claim your adulthood. Be intentional. Get to work. Pick your family. Do the math. Make your own certainty. Don't be defined by what you didn't know or didn't do. You are deciding your life right now.

Here's an insight that I've had about success: You can't be successful at everything. We hear a lot of talk about work-life balance. Nonsense. You can't have it all. You can't. So any vision of success has to admit what it's losing out on, where the element of loss is. And I think any wise life will accept, as I say, that there is going to be an element where we're not succeeding.
