- i'm terrified that i will be a dumb (misdirected) confident (capable) person who will do something under the impression that it is for the greater good but actually fuck up. and in a huge way. which will shame me for the rest of my life and posterity.
- i'm scared that i am being insincere. or am too good at deluding others and myself about my sincerity.
- i hope i can maintain an ethos of the bright eyed youthful student innovator who can see the hidden values and patterns in everything important and do something useful with that knowledge.
- i want to create something or be someone that the world didn't know it was missing.
- to always be of a state of mind to feel like i could know everything, but know that i know nothing.

- "So fail. Be bad at things. Be embarrassed. Be afraid. Be vulnerable. Go out on a limb or two or twelve, & you will fall & it’ll hurt. But the harder you fall, the farther you will rise. The louder you fail, the clearer your future becomes. Failure is a gift, welcome it. There are people who spend their whole lives wondering how they became the people they became, how certain chances passed them by, why they didn’t take the road less traveled. Those people aren’t you. You have front row seats to your own transformation, & in transforming yourself, you might even transform the world. & it will be electric, & I promise you it will be terrifying. Embrace that; embrace the new person you’re becoming. This is your moment. I promise you, it is now, now, not two minutes from now, not tomorrow, but really now. Own that; know that deep in your bones....
