Make money doing the work you believe in

The biggest regret of my late teens and early twenties is how much time I have spent on my phone. I was unable to sit in boredom. I didn’t want to scroll on my phone, but it was the easiest alternative to doing nothing.

It saddens me to think of all the friends I could have met and experiences I could have had. I’m horrified to think that on my deathbed, I’ll wish that I didn’t spend so much time on “the damn phone” as our moms always say.
