What’s the one piece of advice you would give to your younger self? I asked the 86-year old man sat next to me on a long-haul flight.
It's one thing to give an idea (or a side hustle) a chance, and decide to take a break from it.
It's another thing altogether to consider starting something, but not even take the first steps to get it off the ground.
One is pausing to catch your breath.
To get back to it again, starting where you left off.
The other is perfection over completion.
Waiting too long until you're finally ready.
Which is relative, and unattainable.
You can only make two mistakes along the way:
Not starting.
And not going all the way.

Don’t underestimate the power of fresh perspectives over years of experience. And value imagination over knowledge.
