When I was younger, I severally underestimated how valuable it is to compound, to focus in on a few things and do them well. There are things you can only discover 10,000 hours into a conversation with your best friend, experiences you can only have two decades into honing a craft or living in the same place. It takes dedication to not become blasé to the things we have around us, to maintain the serious attention and dedication necessary to discover new levels to something. But those levels are, in many ways, more rewarding than the rewards of doing new stuff (as fun as that is, and as important as it is to have that as part of the mix).
