5) Building an Engaged Community:

Forget about the comparison and try to find peers that you can connect with, collaborate with, and [you'll] rise together.

6) Reading can be a form of therapy:

Books can save your life. People don't just read books for escape. We read to find new paths for ourselves. We think we are in this one-room house.

Books help us realize we are in a mansion. Reading is a way to find the lost parts of us.

7) There is no bad time to bet on yourself.

Start a newsletter, a passion project, or a new venture that lets you tie your identity to something that actually matters - YOUR OWN NAME.
