I usually won’t just make a post, about an article someone else has written – but in this case I will make an exception. I had no idea who this guy was, before I read this interview; you might know him. But it is by far one of the best interviews I have read so far this year, and being this close to December; it is probably going to be the years best.

His philosophy just rings so true to mine; which I am sure is why I like the interview so much. But basically, it is a very honest interview, with a guy who really has something to say.

Part of successfully growing up is letting go of unrealistic ideas that stop us from recognizing something else we’re good at and might enjoy more than what we’re doing now. There could be something 10 times greater than what you’re doing, but you don’t realize it because you’re fixated on the thing you feel like you should be doing.

It is a very long read though; my Instapaper account estimates it to 35-40 min. But in my book it is so worth it.
