In terms of, like, navigating so many different fields and just really keeping your mind open and learning as much as possible, how do you go about finding that one that ends up being that, like, passion, you know, over time, especially if you're, like, starting at a younger age? Yeah, no, right.
How can I repeat that question? Basically, what I heard was there are a lot of different paths that you can take and things that you can be passionate about. And how do you sort of figure out the path and maybe the focus that you want to take as you go through life? And so I think one important distinction here I want to call out is that I'm not being prescriptive in order to describe how to be successful. I actually think there's a lot of luck involved, at least through personal experience, on what actually will work out. And it's also hard to predict. What I am trying to describe is, like, what will make it worth it for you to work on the problems. And that's what I mean by finding something you deeply care about. There have been a lot of endeavors that I've worked on that have gone nowhere. And you look at some of these other founders, too, and where they started looks very different from where they finished. And so the thing that will kill you for certain is if you just end up hitting a wall and you. You don't want to do it anymore, which is also fine, I think, as a choice. But, like, ultimately, if you're going to be exerting this much effort on something that has a high likelihood of not working out, I think the only way you get through it is if you have deep conviction and you're passionate about it. And so then directly to your question, like, as you're exploring lots of different branches and whatnot, what I found is it doesn't really matter, like, where your journey takes you. I've always found it interesting to obsess down deeply into one path at a time. And if something else takes me to broaden out my experience or my knowledge, then I'll follow it. But I always find it more interesting to just learn as much as I can about a particular field as I'm working.
