    Why Be Interesting

    To limit your regrets.
    So you can respect yourself.
    In order to banish boredom.
    So that you can leave a mark, not a blemish.
    And most of all, because you can.

    Explore ideas, places, and opinions. The inside of the echo chamber is where all the boring people hang out.

    Waiting around for a sign? Sorry, you have to paint your own.
  • sekarlangitifyhas quoted6 years ago
    To deny a dream is to kill it in its infancy.
    Don’t feel guilty for taking a shot at something. Don’t feel terrible for wanting something.
    Save the guilt for never giving yourself the chance to try.
  • sekarlangitifyhas quoted6 years ago
    Try it out. Play around with a new idea. Do something strange. If you never leave your comfort zone, you won’t grow.

    Really: How will you know how high to aim if you’ve never looked up?
  • sekarlangitifyhas quoted6 years ago
    Mistakes happen. Often. Sometimes they’re your fault and sometimes they’re your misfortune.
    Freely admit to both kinds.
  • sekarlangitifyhas quoted6 years ago
    Everything you’ll ever know is only a fraction of a microscopic dribble in the great, churning universe of information. Let this humbling fact be comforting in its enormity.
  • sekarlangitifyhas quoted6 years ago
    What makes you interesting makes you valuable: Only you can express what you know, do what you do, and know what you know. You don’t need a giant niche, just one big enough to plant a flag in.

    Don’t run away and join the rat race. Run away and join a circus full of people who are living their dreams.
    If you seek a circus, you’ll be running toward something enjoyable, instead of merely exhausting yourself.
