Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.
The only thing that I can say is I try my best in every moment.
Collaboration across industries is key to solving the complex energy challenges we face.
In times of change, the ability to learn is far more important than the ability to know.
I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, "That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn't already have a good job." That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn't think I'd regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all. After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I'm proud of that choice.
The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.
