passionate about. Cut your dream down to
only half, then you hunt for it with only half
the enthusiasm. Never settle as you venture
through life.

achieve anything. We cannot expect anyone to

was to make movies, it wouldn’t matter what
your skills are, because almost any skills you
have could be put to use there. So, ask yourself.

this earth, after your journey here is done?

someone with information that you don’t have.
Get out more. Talk to more people.
