There is only one thing more boring that not knowing what you are doing, where you are going and not knowing a thing.
And that is knowing exactly what you are doing, where you are going and knowing everything.

The world is always changing.
If you aren't changing you are't standing still
​You're going backwards.

We need both.

An Opportunity won't turn into anything unless you put in the hard work
Hard work won't lead to anything if you aren't given opportunities.

The argument is that of course you can make your own opportunities
That you can succeed without hard work.

​It's dumb argument.
