The only way I have time to do nice things is to not do everything.

I learned something from every job. It's just that in some cases it took me 5, 10, 15 years to realize what is it that I learned.

All that stuff you're getting right now, it's going to have an impact on your life whether you like it or not. Everything you're doing right now, everything you're not doing right now, it will also have an impact on your life. But all that stuff that feels like just junk is actually really useful. It's just up to you to make it useful sooner.
