You’re driven by your passion, vision, and clarity of thought. Take the time to learn and gain experience. Try everything to see what you don’t like first, then you find out what you like. Don’t lock yourself into one path. Don’t hold back…take risks—but wear your mask. Have a group of people you can get advice from, and be generous and give advice back. Do things with grace and kindness.
Learn, watch, and work hard.
Get off your phone and get inspired.
Be thoughtful when you ask for help.
Respect your elders. They have the experience you don’t.
