If tasked with a difficult decision, choose the path that would make both your
10-year-old-self and 80-year-old self proud.
Your 10-year-old self will remind you to be creative, foolish, and to have some fun.
Your 80-year-old self will remind you that life decisions can compound over decades.
Life is short. Life is long.
It seems paradoxical, but if you can mix the benefits of naivety that come with youth and the wisdom with age, you'll be on the right track.
