>It had taken me a little too long in life to realize that the advice I received years ago to “pursue what you love, and success will follow”, had been pushed aside, in favor of the search for legitimacy – which I now realize is just a shallow illusion. To “be yourself” is advice that can only be taken if you really understand yourself. And it’s unfortunate that this insight can be difficult to obtain when who you are, and what you want often clashes with the professional and social world – or even with your own reservations.
