It’s not career advice, it’s life advice: don’t limit what you try and learn or accomplish to what your peers are doing or what your teachers tell you is sufficient. Follow your curiosity as far as it goes. Don’t stop just because it seems like it should be beyond the ability of “someone like you”. You might be more capable than you thought. I was incredibly lucky to have had a father who worked that out for himself then impressed it on me. The people I feel sad for are those who don’t have people around to make them feel it’s ok to try things that seem impossibly advanced for your age or social status.
