My goal is not to wake up at forty with the bitter realization that I’ve wasted my life in a job I hate because I was forced to decide on a career in my teens. — Daria

Don’t be stuck in one place that’s slowly taking life out of you.

One day you are going to hate it. And that is not going to be fun either.

Think for a moment: where does a safe career get you anyway?

You say yes. You don’t speak out of turn.

You never miss a deadline. Do you work more and more long hours to keep up with the workload?

For what? more work.

The biggest career risk is not taking a risk.

Most jobs and projects you work for require a couple of months of learning.

You know it’s true. Most jobs aren’t hard to learn — or even master.

Simplify life.

“It is not death that a man should fear, but rather he should fear never beginning to live.” -Marcus Aurelius

It’s a tragedy of life that most of us spend our entire lives finding a meaningful life.
