Quotes:

• "For people who are unhappy with their jobs, which is probably most people, go read a bunch of books, go explore, go do things you've never done before, because you may not ever know in your whole life what your passion really is if you don't do that."
• "I think the people who cannot see your vision are actually pushing you to believe in yourself. So I actually am very grateful today to the people who have rejected me."
• "What we're taught in schools is essentially preparing us to be good little workers, but they're not preparing us to be critical thinkers or entrepreneurs."
• "So if you're just constantly listening to what everybody else is telling you to do, 'be like everybody else, take the safe road,' then honestly, you'll likely fail because it's redundant. What is the point of being someone else?"
