- Yes, life is often too short to pursue all interests. This is a feature, not a bug.
- One's life is constrained in all sorts of ways. (By language, geography, family, acquaintances, genetics, accidents, illness, etc.) While we can try to break free from these constraints, it is often constraints that point us in interesting directions that we might not have otherwise entertained.
- Always have both long-term and short-term goals to help you point in a direction. It is okay to change these goals.
- After a certain age, certain topics will mean less to you. You will consider them either "solved," or simply older ideas that are being rehashed yet again.
- Occasionally reflect on how you find and approach new ideas. It is okay to throw out old ways of working to invent or discover new ways of working.
And finally, never forget that as each second goes by, you are literally a different person.[1] We are all inherently dynamic.
