His "two cents": Look inside yourself for that child-like curiosity about the world that we so quickly beat out of our children and you will find the passion you once had for this crazy adventure called Life. Try hard to never be the smartest guy in the room. Never be afraid of failure, and fuck this whole obsession with success and excess thing we do in America. Fail big and fail often – it means you’re trying new things and you’re still learning, and eventually that WILL make you a success.
