Quotes
“(To his parents at 18) I want to get life experience from seeing the world. There is more to this life then you are showing me.”
“For me, I have taking a million courses from different gurus in marketing, business, etc, and a theme from all of them is ‘taking massive action’. Perfection is fancy procrastination.”
“Just because you have bad experiences, good experiences, or any experiences. Life is experience. You can learn from it, you can grow from it. You can become better. You don’t have to be the victim. You are happening to life.”
“I want (my kids) to become an adult who takes responsibility for (their) life and charts (their) own course.”
