Explore New Ways of Living
Any inherited rules for how to live are a personal mental prison. You will continue to carry them until you discover life’ s many alternatives.

Immersion is More Powerful Than Money
If you want your kids to have the best chance at success and intelligence, don’t spend money to invest in their education … that is a waste of money. The best shot you have is to surround them with a culture that highly values success and intelligence.
You Belong Here. Act Like It.
You have as much of a right to pursue happiness as anyone else. You have as much of a right to carve out your own path as anyone else.
