Because, as their inventor Dean Kamen famously said: “The city needs a car like a fish needs a bicycle” It was a strange but very cool experience… At first it was wobbly. But then it was fun. The experience reinforced two powerful lessons for me. Balancing can be difficult at first but, persevere and you always get there in the end Where you travel in your mind, you travel in reality
“How can I discover my source code?” and “I just don’t know what I’m good at or what my purpose is” The quick answer is to focus on what you enjoy doing. In the words of Joseph Campbell “Follow Your Bliss” FYB is not the destination. It’s the journey. The thing is you can’t discover your source code in the same way you solve the treasure hunt. In some ways it’s elusive like the gold at the end of the rainbow.
In fact, it’s fine to sometimes feel 0%. Crushed and deflated. Nothing for us to feel guilty about. But we do anyway. Somehow we have to show the world our perfect, struggling, martyr-like self. “Hey look at me dancing in the rain and smiling through it all. Even though I have toothache and credit card bills stacked as high as the Eiffel tower on my kitchen table.” Actually crashing is fine.
