There is no fun in life and work if a clear future is charted for you with certainty. The joy is in finding your own unique path.
Joseph Campbell rightly said, “If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.”
But how do you carve your own path? By trying out stuff. By taking diversions. Investing in areas where your skills overlap. Making mistakes. Failing fast and often. Adapting and learning from it. It’s only when you try many things that you find a few that are worthwhile.
Tom Peters, who I had the privilege of speaking with once, said: Whoever tries the most stuff wins.
