“If you only look at the numbers, you might never even start. Usually, when you see a vision, you should just go for it instead of worrying about how much return it will bring.

From a young age, we’re taught to set a goal and work hard toward it, believing that one day we will reach that goal. But there is an unhealthy problem with this mindset: if you work that hard and still do not achieve the goal, which is actually quite likely, then your life ends up feeling unhappy.

What really matters is the process, not the goal. Luck plays an enormous role, maybe as much as 90 percent. There are so many hardworking people who never become successful. Hard work does not necessarily guarantee results. So instead of obsessing over the outcome, it is better to treat the effort itself as something to be enjoyed.”
