On Optionality

Many commonly believe that in order to be sufficiently creative and flexible they must forgo all true planning and instead opt to “see where the wind takes them”.

But flexibility is not letting yourself be fecklessly pushed around by forces of nature -- for he who has no spine will sooner slip through the cracks than reach the stars.

Flexibility is having the humility to admit your mistakes and the perseverance to move past them.

While you’re busy warming your hands by the fire of optionality, the flames of life are nipping at your heels.
