Life Advice
I’m not great at advice—I share Oscar Wilde’s opinion about it, for the most part—but with that caveat I’d say this: don’t be afraid of seeking. Don’t be afraid of your own depth. Don’t dumb yourself down to be less threatening to others. Don’t let the shallow present monoculture shame you into vacuousness.

A great deal of advice can be framed in terms of: "do what gives you energy"
1) Surround yourself people that inspire you, not people that put you down
2) Do stuff you like, because that gives you more energy -> feedback loop of energy and interest and focus

“We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.”
