Everyone likes to talk about failures, but the main thing is you might have a lot of little small steps. Every one of those steps seem to not take you anywhere in money. It didn't get you much more money. It didn't get any money. You're proud. You show them off to friends. Even your mind was increasing. Your methods of coming up with better solutions was increasing. You not only have to read a book on how things are done, you can write the book. And that's called creativity. You create new things yourself. So here's the biggest key I can give to anybody in the world. That if you're smart and you're working on some project, maybe it's software, maybe it's hardware. Try to think. At the end, you complete it. Don't stop there. Say, how can I make it perfect? Almost better than any other human being would. Can I shorten the code? Can I redo it? A little cleaner structure. Give yourself some of those redos and when you're young, you'll put in a lot more than eight hours a day.
