“Find your passion, something deep in your heart, a thing you love that isn’t love. Pursue it with humour and perseverance and courage – the courage to listen to your deepest instincts and stick with no matter what everyone around you is telling you to do. Don’t give up. Be prepared to risk and fail and risk all over again, because if you keep on trying you might one day succeed.”
