John’s Recent Updates
“The truth is, you can be good at a lot of things, and they don’t have to be related to each other at all. Their common thread is your own curiosity. It's your primary driver. Curiosity. Pursuing new interests is what keeps you grounded as a person. Following those interests until you get good at them is what makes you a strong person. Having the inquisitiveness and imagination to engage, and the perseverance to continue, makes you a special person.”

“They say that wisdom is a marriage of experience and compassion. Dreams are born of compassion and realized through experience.”

“Failure is the real teacher as long as you view it in hindsight and figure out what went wrong. I would much prefer someone tell me what I did wrong than to receive patronizing praise from them. I can fix the problems they mention, and though praise feels good, it doesn't teach me anything.”
