Why everyone dolls out the same advice

Published: Sunday, 17 February 2013

"Follow your passions."

"Dream bigger."

"Focus."

"You can get there with hard work."

"Do what you love because then you'll never have to work a day in your life."

etc.

etc.

Everyone dolls out the same advice, because it's true.

The difference between someone who lives their dreams, and someone who doesn't, is that the former actually lives their lives uncompromisingly by those principles.
