“Find one thing and stick with it” - is this advice also something which you get from family and friends?

Jumping from one job to another, one degree to another and not having a clue what he wants to do with his life was Reza’s story before he started The Power Of Play Non-Profit at the age of 33! 

If you feel bad for not having yet figured out what you want to do with your life, or if you are in a job where you feel stuck and lack fulfilment, it’s never too late to change your career path.

Reza's key message based on his near-death experience was: "it’s better to have a few years doing something that you love than to spend decades building a career which you hate!"

Don’t settle - keep exploring.
